LotR Projects and Ideas... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I'm currently doing a family tree on the computer, and I have a question: Did Tolkien ever write out the line from Silmarien to Amandil? LotR Appendix A only says there is a line of descent, but I'd rather a line of names than to just make Valandil (Silmarien's son) the father of Amandil. (afaik, the program I'm using won't let one just say that Bob is Bill's ancestor: there has to be actual people in between.) Anything in HoME?
