Who was Arwen, Elladan, and Elrohir's mum?
And who was grandmum? smilies/smile.gif smilies/cool.gif

"Mum" would be Celebrian. "Grandmum" on Elrond's side was Elwing, and on Celebrian's side Galadriel (or Alatariel, Artanis, or Nerwen, depending on which of her names you use).

Umm, isn't the only woman dwarf tolkien mentions Dis? That would have to be my guesse. Either that or Gloins wife?
Cimmerian
05-09-2002, 04:36 AM
Dis is the only female dwarf mentioned by Tolkien as the mum of Fili and Kili, not Gimli....no mention of gimli's mum anywhere
unfair!!!!
Arwen Imladris
05-09-2002, 02:50 PM
Well, then we seem to be in agrement here, I will ask.
Who was Elenor (sp) Gamgee's mother?
It is easy, sorry.
Lindolirian
05-09-2002, 04:10 PM
Rose Cotton (later Gamgee)
BTW for Middle Earth spelling of Elanor think El=star anor=sun. The sunstar. Of course, the spelling in our world in different: Eleanor for some reason....
Arwen Imladris
05-17-2002, 09:15 PM
Yup lindorlirian, you are right!
Lindolirian
05-18-2002, 05:58 PM
ok then!
Who was Goldberry's mum?
Arwen Imladris
05-19-2002, 03:32 PM
Was it the river? I just remember reading somewhere that she was the River-daughter.
Lindolirian
05-19-2002, 04:54 PM
that's good enough... it was the River woman, so saying Goldberry was the River Daughter is ok. ur go.

05-20-2002, 11:33 AM
Hmm, Mum, O.k. I don't know any more mums off the top of my head so, how about Sam's mum. I don't remember reading it anywhere, but does anyone know?
Bell Goodchild was his 'mum'.
Arwen Imladris
05-22-2002, 03:45 PM
Really? Cool. Your turn.
Lindolirian
05-22-2002, 06:10 PM
Its either Lórindol or Órindol i can't tell if its a line or an L in the family tree.
Yeah, I'll give it to you.

05-25-2002, 03:38 PM
Aragorn can be traced back to which half-elven innumberable-greats grandmum?
Lindolirian
05-25-2002, 05:02 PM
O gee. Just a guess... Silmarien i think her name was. A Numenorean woman who was at the beginning of the line of Elendil... ?? smilies/rolleyes.gif
[ May 25, 2002: Message edited by: Lindolirian ]
Lómelindi
05-25-2002, 08:26 PM
I was thinking something more general than that, although I suppose you're probably right.
Aragorn was descended from a certain man, who had a half-elven mother. That's who I was thinking of, if anyone wants to take a stab at who she is.
Lindolirian
05-26-2002, 10:54 AM
Maybe he was descended from Dior whose mum was Luthien.
Lómelindi
05-26-2002, 07:46 PM
That's going back waaayyyy far but you're correct. (I was thinking of Elwing.)
Lindolirian
05-26-2002, 08:05 PM
ok who was Aldagrim Took's mum?
hint: one of the Barrow-downers has her name...
Lindolirian
06-02-2002, 02:36 PM
anybody? smilies/rolleyes.gif
junglejoes
06-02-2002, 04:52 PM
Rosa Baggins,hence Frodo and Bilbo's Took relations.
O.k. Who was Mim's mum? smilies/smile.gif
Lindolirian
06-02-2002, 05:34 PM
We usually wait for the asker to confirm your answer, but in this case, you are correct so we'll just go on with the question that you already posted. BTW, welcome to the Downs.
Lindolirian
06-09-2002, 05:05 PM
I think the only female Dwarf mentioned by Tolkien was Dis, Thorin's sister, mother of Fili and Kili. Now unless Mim is their long lost brother, which i know he is not, his mother's name was never stated. If it is just say so, and i'll try desperatly to find it again...
Arwen Imladris
06-14-2002, 07:55 PM
Jador, unless you can give us a hint...
I am pretty sure that Dis is the only female dwarf.
No one has posted in a while so I will ask one. If it is someone else's turn, feel free to ignore this.
Who was Tuor's mom?
Lindolirian
06-15-2002, 10:39 AM

Which "mum" (way back, that is) do Merry, Pippin, and Frodo all share in their family trees?
Lindolirian
06-18-2002, 11:43 AM
Adamanta Chubb, the wife of the Old Took.
Lómelindi
06-18-2002, 04:35 PM
Correct. There are a couple more "mums" they share––Rosa Baggins is one––but Chubb works too.
Your go.

Who was Eldacar's mum ?
Lómelindi
06-21-2002, 01:05 AM
If you mean Eldacar of Gondor, then his mum was Vidumavi, the daughter of Vidugavia, the King of Rhovanion.
But if you're talking about Eldacar of Arnor, then I only know his grandmum, Anárion, the wife of Isildur.
Lindolirian
06-21-2002, 04:08 PM
Umm just to let you know, Anarion was Isildur's brother not mother. smilies/wink.gif
Lómelindi
06-21-2002, 11:20 PM
My bad. smilies/wink.gif School just got out, I'm little rusty on the Tolkien family trees after having to ditch them in favor of the trees of the monarchs of Europe. (But who cares about them?)
Lindolirian
06-28-2002, 10:32 AM
Hmmm Mat hasn't replied, but I think you're right either way Lomelindi. It's been a week at least anyways, so I'd just say to go ahead.
Lómelindi
06-28-2002, 11:41 AM
After that temporary brain-lapse there…I'm sure this is terribly easy:
Who were Eärendil's grandmums?
*Varda*
06-28-2002, 03:18 PM
Rian on his father's side and Elenwe on his mother's side?
Lómelindi
06-28-2002, 07:44 PM
Yep. (The Elven family trees aren't that hard; it seems everyone's related in some way or another…)

Er... This is a thread for mums. That means you have to ask who was so and so's mother and what not. Its got to be about mums. Unless this chain has a mother I don't know about, you'll probably want to ask a different question. smilies/smile.gif
Orual
11-27-2002, 09:45 PM
My apologies, Aramacil! You got the right answer. But yeah, this is a "mum" thread..."who was so-and-so's mum or grandmum" or whatever. But Camellia Sackville is correct, and I'm sorry for not responding sooner, I had lost track of this thread.
