I'm a third cousin of Isaac Newton about 13 times removed.

Heh, poor thing. Although sometimes that's just how we learn. However, I hope they were not frightened away completely.
I always assumed that Arwen and Aragorn were related because 1. both are descended from Luthien and 2. Aragorn is a descendant of Elros Tar-Minyatur who is Arwen's uncle, and both come from Earendil.
Aragorn is also related to Celeborn since, because he is a descendant of Luthien, he is also a child of Elu Thingol who (unless I am mistaken) is an uncle of Celeborn.
SO Aragorn is also related to his in-laws. And probably Denethor and Boromir and Faramir too. But then, by the Third Age, practically everyone is related to everyone else anyway. You should check out the hobbit family trees, they are just about as inbred as any family of the Eldar/Edain. (First and second cousin once removed either way.)
