How to identify myself as someone's son/daughter?


I'm trying to make contact with one of my mother's old friends from some time
ago, and I don't think she really knows or remembers me -- thus, I'd like to
be able to identify myself as, say, Jane Doe's son or daughter.

I've searched all over the place and have found musuko/musume, but from what
I'm understanding, it's what parents use to refer to their own (or other
people's?) children. Would I be able to apply that term to myself as well?

No, musuko/musume does not have such a restriction. You can safely use
musuko/musume when you say something like "I am a son/daughter of Jane Doe" or
"Jane Doe had four sons/daughters."
