Hello Anders,

To select a set of subjects meeting your criteria, you will need to make use of 
family structure information, which is part of HCP Restricted Access data.  
Once you have agreed to the HCP Restricted Data Use Terms and obtained 
permission to access these data, you can download a spreadsheet that includes 
the resting-state fMRI scan count as well as the family structure data.

There are many possible combinations of subjects who would meet your criteria, 
and we do not have an algorithm for automatically identifying such groupings. 

Before you proceed too far down this road, please bear in mind that the rfMRI 
datasets are acquired in "RL" and "LR" pairs (opposite phase encoding 
directions).  There are advantages to analyzing these data in LR/RL pairs.  
More importantly, combining RL scans of some subjects and LR scans of others 
would be problematic, whether you use the HCP minimally preprocessed or 
FIX-denoised data (as we strongly recommend) or if you do the preprocessing 
using your own methods.  See the Reference Manual and relevant HCP publications 
listed on the website for additional information.  Others who are more expert 
in rfMRI processing than I may wish to comment further.
