I happen to know Arwen's family tree quite a way back.

Anyway, what was Celebrimbor to Elrond?

I don't have the family tree right now, but I'll give it a shot: second cousin, once removed?

Turin's maternal grandfather was Tuor's maternal grandfather's brother; their fathers were brothers.
So, you could say that they were first and second cousins.

Elrond was married to Celebrian. Celebrian and Celebrimbor were third cousins. (or half cousins).
Finwe>Feanor>Curufin>Celebrimbor.
Finwe>Finarfin>Galadriel>Celebrian (married to Elrond).

I'm thinking either Galador, the first Lord of Amroth, or further down the line and more debatable...Imrahil. Here is my line of thinking:

Serinde married Finwë, who's son was Finarafin, who's daughter was Galadriel. Now it has been proposed that Amroth was Galadriel and Celeborn's son (some controversy over that, but some places do claim it). Amroth's "lover" was Nimrodel, who had Mithrellas as a friend and maiden. Mithrellas, in turn, bore Galador. There are two proposed heritages of the Princes of Dol Amroth, and lineage from Galador is one of them. If that is the case, then Mithrellas would also be an ancestor of Imrahil.

Or, it could be that I am completely off on all accounts.

symestreem, if the answer is Aredhel, then it would be Luthien who sung for Morgoth. I know she sung for Mandos, but i don't recall her singing for Morgoth. If she did, i must reread, but otherwise, it's wrong.....i think.

Symestreem is right. Here is the passage:

Quote:
[Luthien] was not daunted by his eyes; and she named her own name, and offered her service to sing before him, after the manner of a minstrel....Then suddenly she eluded his sight, and out of the shadows began a song of such surpassing loveliness, and of such blinding power, that he listened perforce; and a blindness came upon him, as his eyes roamed to and fro, seeking her.
She did indeed sing for Morgoth. She sang so powerfully that she was able to lull him into a dream.

It seems that on these family trees, the eldest sibling is the farthest left. The youngest is on the far right.

These family trees are so twisted. Turin killed his something-cousin, and Brandir wanted to marry his.

Well, sorry about that. It's difficult with norwegian names for those hobbits. A lot of weird translations. Well anyway...
