Ok, lets try this...
What is the relationship between Thorin II and Gimli?

third cousins, once removed.

Yup.
(Now I understand the removed thingy :D )

What is Hathol to Arwen?

Hathol is Arwen's great great great great great grandfather.

Yep, Nightknight...your spin :)

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?

second cousins, twice removed?

or third cousins, in-law :rolleyes:

Firefoot has it.

Luthien, could you explain that?

Give both ways that Túrin and Tuor were related.

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.

Yes. Go ahead. :)

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).

Ah, yes. Now I see. Thanks. :)

Serinde's husband's son's daughter's son's lover's friend was the ancestor of _______.

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. ;)

It's the former; any one in the line of Dol Amroth would do. Go ahead!

Thanks, symestreem.

Her brother's grandson's wife's grandmother sang for Morgoth.

This is like one of those backwards arithmetic problems...
Is it Aredhel?

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:

She did indeed sing for Morgoth. She sang so powerfully that she was able to lull him into a dream.

Oh right! I was un aware how she got Morgoth into a deep slumber! Sorry! But she did sing for Mandos! So i get 1/2 points for that!

What was Chica Chubb's father-in-law's youngest brother's eldest grandson's wife's mother's mother's maiden name?
:D

Adamanta Chubb?

Yep! :)

Who was Tuor's wife's mother's father-in-law's younger brother's youngest son?

Tricksy, NightKnight!
Is it Aegnor?

'Tis indeed. And I like being tricksy. :rolleyes:

Olwe's sister-in-law's son-in-law's father's elder nephew's daughter's cousin's husband's younger uncle's grandson was _______.


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

Brandir the Lame.

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

Hobbit Family Trees!
 

Holman Cotton's first grandson's wife's youngest brother's sixth child's father-in-law's aunt's husband's father's youngest daughter's grandfather-in-law's oldest brother's fourth child's son.

Have fun! :D

I'm probably way off, but...Odo Brownfoot?

Do you mean "Odo Proudfoot?" I don't know of any "Brownfoots", but Odo Proudfoot is correct.

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

Frodo Baggins's mother's oldest brother's son's wife's grandfather's wife's father's youngest brother's great grandson is...

I liked these family trees.

Frodo.

Yup :D

Tar-Aldarion's oldest aunt's grandfather's aunt's father's niece's three known great-great-grandfathers are...
