As per Hindu law you can not marry your own sister. Such kind of marriage is prohibited and void under the eye of law. As you said that both of your fathers of grandfather were brother which clearly restrict such type of marriage.

That relationship of you and your sister comes within the prohibited relationship as mentioned in Section 5 (iv) of the Hindu Marriage Act and therefore as per Section 11 of the Hindu Marriage Act such marriage would be void.

you can not marry with your sister or cousin sister it is prohibited under the Hindu marriage Act. only under the muslim law anyone can marry with his cousin sister, you also can not change your religion for marriage purpose.
