Sting Relatively speaking

I don't think anyone's done something like this before, so:
Here, the poster gives the name of an LOTR character. To answer, give the names of three people that person was related to and how. Ex:

Bilbo Baggins

Bungo Baggins=Father

Belladonna Took=Mother

Frodo Baggins=Cousin

Anyone like to start? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Question

Yep, that's what I was thinking, but what you call easy might not be easy for others- [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
I can't get yours without looking, (LOTR novice who's not into elves) but perhaps someone else can...?

now now now, Pippin and Merry were related, therefore Pippin's relations *are* Merry's relations.. tricky what? Though I admit that the particulars of *how* they're related are wrong in the above posts....

Glorfinel, correct. You got the relations right, but Fingolfin would be called her Great-Uncle.

Wait, am I out of turn? Is it Isilya's turn? Either way, I forfeit my turn because I can't think of a good question.

No, it was your turn Orual. So since you've forfeited I'll take it.

Peregrin Took

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.

I hope Pippin hasn't already been done. I've read through this whole thread, but that was a while ago. In any case, there are at least 8 close relatives that can be listed for him.

(If someone gives a correct answer, but not the 8 I was thinking of, do I accept that or hold out for the "what was I thinking of" answer?)

Oh, LoL, I didn't read any dates. ::blushes:: Stupid me.

Let me try...

1) Paladin II (father)
2) Eglantine Banks (mother)
3) Pearl (sister)
4) Pimpernel (brother)
5) Pervinca (sister)
6) Esmeralda (aunt)
7) Saradoc Brandybuck (uncle)
8) And, naturally, Meriadoc Brandybuck! (1st cousin)

~*~Orual~*~

(Note: in my edition, it says "Esmeralds," for Pippin's aunt, but I'm guessing it's just a typo.)

That's right, except that Pimpernel was his sister, and I was thinking of his son Faramir instead of his uncle Saradoc (or was it his aunt I wasn't thinking of, gah...I forgot. One of those). Anyway, that was close enough! Your turn.
