whoever was worried about inbred elves, dont worry! it specifically says in Sil that elves did NOT fall in love with/ marry their first cousins never mind anything closer (yuck)

maeglin fell in love with Idril, his first cousin, and this was a sign that he was "strange and crooked", it was a part of the doom of the Noldor.

on the other hand you have niniel and turin who got married, who were brother and sister! but they were human and you know how odd humans are!
