My daughter's mother-in-law has a first cousin with not one shared grandmother, but two. Their mothers are sisters and their fathers are brothers. Is there a special name for this relationship? Genetically they are closer than first cousins.

Yes, they are called "double first cousins".

My grandfathe Bernardo's brother John married my grandmothe Sadie's aunt Toni.. my grandfather Bernardo and his brother John and this aunt Toni were 1st cousins this my grandfather Bernardo and grandmother Sadie were 2nd cousins.. and my grand uncle John and my grandfather Bernardo were brothers but via marriage became Uncle and nephew, still were 1st cousins but 2nd cousins as well... so my dad Joe B and Henry who was grand uncle John's son were 1st cousins, ?? cousins, 3rd cousins, and even 4th cousins..??? I could go on with Bernardo's and John's other siblings.. Candy married Irene, who was also a 2nd cousin cuz was 1st cousin to my grams, and niece to Tony.. and finally younger bro to Bernardo, Candy, and John.. Sev married the daughter to my grams uncle on her dad's side.. I'm my own grandma............................
