Then there was the sci-fi story that involved time travel and a sex change operation.

the wikipedia article (see link) mentions a Robert A. Heinlein story -All You Zombies—, the bartender, a time-traveling hermaphrodite who is his/her own father and mother demands that this song, playing on the jukebox, be stopped. that must be it.

There was also a sci-fi story involving time travel about a woman who became her own progenetrix. But I can't remember what it was called.

That's the one. Does this mean I've mantled Wikipedia? Or just that I didn't read the article?

well, my first notion was to try the obvious contraction: link - ron o. You see what 8000 posts and lots of computer experience can do for you? I'm still not onto the whole process, probably will take a long time. Thanks much, tsuwm.

How about my son-in-law's mother? After all is said and done, this is still the best answer I reckon!

I've given up on cousin-in-law. I'm now stumping for wife-in-law. Spouse-in-law would be the general term, husband-in-law for a child's spouse's father.

 Once you all have worked this one out there is still the interesting field of confusement about offspring from second and third to the sixth marriage; children who have uncles and aunts younger than themselves . Nieces and nephews; raising the question who is who's whatever. ( time will come when a three year old wil be the greatgranduncle of a fifteen year old. )

So the mother of the present husband of your son's ex-wife would be your wife-in-law once removed.
