It means that Mr. A was B's mother's brother and B's father's brother.

From "Fortune's Hours", by Emily K. Router.
Mr. A was adopted.

AlpheccaStarsMr. A was B's mother's brother and B's father's brother.
So B's mother and father were brother and sister?

That's what I'm getting from this. Is that correct? (Doesn't seem so.)

The fact that A was adopted seems irrelevant actually.

No. One relationship was a biological sibling. The other relationship was an adopted sibling.
