My attempt: Conocí a parientes que nunca antes había visto.

(Wait for someone to check it, please. It may be wrong.)

"había visto" is better than "he visto" for the same reason that the English sentence would be better written "... that I had (I'd) never seen before."

The "never seen before" is relative to the time of the meeting which is past. Thus the "seen" refers to a "more than past" (pluperfect) time.
