Elven Lineages

If their house and parentage is known, it can be found there.

Such faith! Truly magnificent undertaking that it is, I took your advice and couldn't find Lindir there (the Elf that Bilbo snorted at).

As for Glorfindel, the element fin in his name is some circumstantial evidence that he was descended from Fingolfin or Finarfin, as the names given by Elven fathers to their sons tended to echoe their own. Also, the only golden-haired Noldor were of the houses of Fingolfin or Finarfin. But I won't go into the hair genetics thing, since I got a bit conflustered on another thread about Legolas.
