"Kinsmen" meant exactly the same to Shakespeare as it does to you, unless you are thinking of the service club. Kinsmen are people who are "kin", who are from the same family. Your kinsmen are your relatives.

Kinsmen are relations. When the Prince talks about losing a brace of kinsmen, he is talking about Mercutio and Paris, both of whom were his second cousins or something.
