Okay, how about Pippin's paternal great-grandfather's sister's great-grandson (it's actually not that hard).

Close, Carlas. That would work if it was Pippin's paternal great-grandfather's wife's great-grandson. I believe (though I am not quite sure I remember) that the answer you are looking for is good ol' Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger, the Hobbit Left Behind.

Indeed they can! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] I can usually make no sense of the long Hobbit family trees in the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings, at least not without my reading glasses and more than a few minutes to spare.

Ah, the good old hobbit family trees. Maybe it is harder than I thought.... I used an internet resource, and didn't realize that the needed info is probably on two separate trees. So, I'll give a hint, which is the fact that the paternal great-grandfather is Hildigrim Took, and the sister I'm looking for is Mirabella Took. You may need to use both the Took and Brandybuck trees. No one has it yet.

Right you are, Evisse. It's a little known fact that Merry and Pippin were third cousins as well as first cousins (on different sides of their families, of course).

I suppose and hope you mean Morwen of Lossarnach, if not this will become really embarrassing. [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
So here we go:
Morwen's daughter (together with Thengel) was Théodwyn, whose son (together with Éomund) was Éomer. Finally, Elfwine was Éomer's son, which makes Morwen the great-grandmother of Elfwine.

Merry's grandfather Rorimac was Frodo's uncle, because he was Frodo's mother Primula's brother. I think this would make Frodo Merry's first cousin, once removed.

Hmm... Frodo's great-uncle is Merry's great-grandfather? That would make them... I have no idea.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you, symestreem... I didn't realize that you had posted. Hmm, I'm not sure what that would make them. I didn't see that one. That relation also affects the other one I was looking at and makes them even more closely related than I thought. I was going back to Balbo and Berylla Baggins which would make them third cousins once removed but that changes it...I don't know how. So you can go ahead and ask the next question.

Ar-Pharazon's wife was Tar-Miriel (Ar-Zimraphel). She was born the daughter of king Tar-Palantir.
Ar-Pharazon was Tar-Palantir's nephew, being the son of his brother Gimilzhad.
Ar-Pharazon usurps the throne of Numenor by marrying his (first) cousin.

It's been ten days so I'll take the liberty of posting a new one:

Whose wife is also his aunt? (there are at least two instances of this kind).

Correct, nobody. Elrond married Celebrian who was also his aunt. The other instance is his father Earendil.
