Only one lineage?

[Inderjit Sanghera]

Beren and Luthien wasn't the only union. There was Tuor and Idril, Aragorn and Arwen, Imrazor and Mithrellas and a couple of other 'potential' unions, like Andreth and Aegnor and Turin and Finduilas. There may have been some other Humans who fell in love with Elves or vice-versa, but because of their 'fates' they didn't get married/have children. Remeber Gwindor's words to Finduilas:

Go withher love lead's you; yet beware! It is not fitting that the younger children of Illuvutar should wed with the younger...neither will fate suffer it, unless it be once or twice only, for some high cause of doom we do not percieve
