Either way, you're up.

Of course he is! It's another name for Beren, son of Balin, son of Balrog, right?

A-ny-way: other than marriage, what is the relationship between Celeborn and Galadriel?

Actually, it's another name of Morlin, son of Alvar, son of Melko.

And second cousins, I believe.

And since you mentioned Beren.....

Beren's grandfather's son's grandaughter is who?

First inclination was Rian & Morwen, who I know are Beren's cousins. Looking at the family tree... it seems to be Rian and Morwen.

Wait, though: Beren has two grandfathers, and his other one is named... Beren. So maybe you're sneakily asking about him! His paternal grandfather is Beldir, whose son is Belmir, grandfather of Emeldir Man-hearted. His maternal grandfather is Malach (son of Marach), whose son Magor has... no known granddaughters.

(Steward Beren of Gondor, interestingly has an unnamed grandfather, because his dad inherited the title from his cousin.)

So, three actual Edain for you this time.

Okeydokey, let's try this:

In the first seven generations of the House of Elros (ie, Elros himself and the six generations that followed him - so down to Ancalime's generation):

-How many people's names contain the names of various Valar?
-What is the relationship between the oldest and youngest of these?
