Re: ....
There is no documentation which shows that Ingwe's lineage descended among Men. It might be possible that Tolkien would have considered making Elenwe, wife of Turgon, a descendant of Ingwe. She did come of the Vanyar and probably was the daughter of a Vanyarin lord. But as the Noldor had many princely families, it seems possible the Vanyar would have had several princely families, too.
Olwe's descendants through his daughter Earwen were the children of Finarfin, of whom only Galadriel had descendants among Men. Arwen was her grand-daughter and therefore all of Aragorn and Arwen's children were descendants of Olwe, but he was not.
Tolkien made the statement, in Appendix A, that after the Fall of Gil-galad the last descendants of the high kings in Middle-earth were to be found only in the descendants of Elrond and Elros. Galadriel was not the daughter of a high king, although she was the daughter of the third King of the Noldor in Aman (Finarfin). Some people hold that he would be the fourth King of the Noldor, since Fingolfin had ruled the Noldor of Tirion while Feanor and Finwe were living in exile in Formenos.
Anyway, it may be this statement or a similar one which confuses some people. All three of the royal families of the Eldar were represented in the descendants of Elros, but those descendants could not claim Ingwe as an ancestor.
