Lets say their are two sets of identical twins..one set of boys/ one set of girls, from different families
and the two boys marry the two girls..would their kids be 'double' cousins or practically brothers and sisters genetically?

They would be double first cousins.
If your mom had a baby with your father's brother then it would make their child both your half-sibling and cousin.

Its a great question. I dont think the children of the 2 relationships would necessarily look alike. There are millions of sperm all with different genetic traits from the family tree and each egg is different. Random chance would dictate that the offspring from the 2 couples would be different genetically. While the parents are genetically identical, the sperm and egg have lots more combinations of cromosomes to choose from. The kids would be different. Would sure be a great situation to be in if you needed a kidney transplant though!

My grand father's brother married my grand mother's sister. Two brother married Two sisters. So I do understand the double cousin concept.

Their kids would just be cousins nothing more. Just because you are a twin doesn't mean you ARE that other person. The other twin is still just your sibling.
