Well, think about this: Boromir and Faramir have at least as much Elvish ancestry as Aragorn

Very unlikely. Aragorn's Elvish strain would be continually re-inforced by his anscestors marrying alm0st exsclusively amongst the 'noble-born' in Numenor and Arnor. The line of the Stewards, though almost purely 'Numenorean' would still have far less of the Elvish strain than the royal family of Arnor. Arwen not yet being added in either.

Yes I clicked that one on my first post in the new format too! Kinda looks like a playmobile 'Bounder' .
I remember I was struck by the thousands of years involved in the Half-Elven--> Aragorn lineage. I doubt if too many families have kept that sort of track, ever for thousands of years. Maybe some Levitical families amongst the ultra-conservative Jews ...
and a cursory review of the above posters brought to my attention that Inkling Elf is a dweller in The City.
have you checked out the Northern California Downers thread? We are long past due for a get together.
