My parents would definitely fall under this category, and even myself (baptized in a UCC church out of convenience/Mom's dislike for local Catholic priests, and I started converting to Anglicanism during college). My mom was lapsed Catholic and my dad was baptized Presbyterian but was an atheist for most of his life until his NDE. I was raised "Catholic" in all but name/church attendance/confirmation, because my dad hated organized religion.

The Church married my parents on the condition that any children would be raised in the Catholic faith, but the priest, whom both my parents insisted was in the closet, basically told them "Do what you think is right." I was baptized in both a church and privately by my mom with her father instructing her over the phone. She ended up rejecting Limbo as a concept though as most of the rest of the Church did.

EDIT: Misunderstood the thread title. There was no cross-family conversion even though my mom would have preferred it. The empty promise to raise kids in the Catholic faith was all that was necessary to marry a non-Catholic.
