    Relationship to Brother-in-law
    Is my husband's brother-in-law also my brother-in-law?

    What does it mean for a relative to be once removed?

    Yes, debbie, your husband's brother-in-law is also your brother-in-law.

    Once removed usually means the child of the relative. So, if you and I were first cousins, my child would be your first cousin, once removed. Our children would be second cousins to each other.

    I hope this helped. Any other questions, just ask. :)

    Ruby is correct. Here's an explanation - with a chart - of cousins and cousins removed:
