"The term used for "brother" can mean cousin etc."

Correct. The Greek word used for "brothers" in the NT is "adelphoi" (cf. Philadelphia - the city of brotherly love).

There is a clear example of it being used to include a wider range of relatives in the Greek translation of the old Testament in the book of Genesis. Abraham and Lot are referred to as bothers - "adelphoi" - however, their actual relationship is one of uncle and nephew.

Thanks for the information.

Sorry. The correct interpretation of 'adelphoi' is 'from the same womb'. Cousins are not from the same womb.
