OK, here goes:

Lobelia Sackville-Baggins -> Ulmo

Hmm... how about this?

1. Lobelia bought Bag-End from
2. Frodo, who was rescued by
3. Glorfindel, who served under
4. Turgon, who was very fond of
5. Tuor, who was the messenger of
6. Ulmo.

I'd need to check the book to see if Goldilocks and Tuor interacted directly, but can definitely hit it in 6 through Turgon.

That works fine, although my path was

1 Lobelia was thrown into the Lockholes with
2 Will Whitfoot, who preceded in office
3 Sam, who was at the Council with
4 Galdor, who was an emissary from
5 Cirdan, who spoke with
6 Ulmo

So a little while back I started mapping all of the connections that have been made so far in this thread. 13 pages in, most of the Fellowship have made a bunch of appearances, and have been cross-linked with each other and with the likes of Elrond and Galadriel.

... except Boromir. In 13 pages, he only appeared once - and that linking Denethor to Aragorn, when they actually met directly.

I want to give Boromir his due, but I also like the whole 'linking two people with the same name' thing. Now, I could ask you to link him to Boromir of Ladros... except that that would just leave him sitting uselessly on the end of a chain. What's needed is for Boromir to be within a chain, and therefore:

Denethor II of Gondor > Denethor, King of Ossiriand

... by way of Boromir.

[Nerwen]

Denethor ll - Boromir - Galadriel - Thingol - Denethor of Ossiriand?

[Huinesoron]

That works nicely. I forget what I had, but it was something like that, and definitely a 5.

Over to you.
