I am confused. . .

It seems that they all represent the end of a family line (if one can put it like that) within the house of Finwe.

Celebrimbor being the last of Feanor's line dying without heirs, just like Gil-galad and Maeglin.

Eldarion is the last decendant we know of. (thus being the last of Finarfin and Fingolfins line)
------------------------------------

That seems to make no sense, but if I was to draw a family tree you would know what I mean.

Anyways I am really confused and cannot see the forest for the trees.

And they have to be male, or we would miss Finduilas.

Don't be confused, Rune, you are spot on. So are you, Azaghal.

They are the last known male descendants of the House of Finwe, down each branch of the tree.
I did think about Finduilas - also the daughters of Aragorn and Arwen; but as I wasn't sure F was entirely canonical, and the daughters didn't have names, I just stuck to the chaps.

All held the Ring at some point?

You're on the right track. I can hardly say more without giving it away.
