I'm really not an English teacher <G> but I recall my 5th (or 6th?) grade teacher saying this:

We can use 'some' if we think it's possible and 'any' if we think it's not possible.

Example:
If I ask you 'Do you want some coffee?', it means that I believe you do want coffee.
If I ask you 'Do you want any coffee?', it means that I believe you don't want coffee.

But, somehow, what you said doesn't sound right. I think even 'any' doesn't sound right.

I would try instead 'Is he going to visit any of his relatives next weekend?' or just 'Is he going to visit his relatives next weekend?'

What we've got here is failure to communicate...
