Ooooo My little baby topic is all grown up and made of two pages! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
I'm not so sure that the children of Earendil were not given their choice because their father made it to the Undying Lands, and ONLY because if this. Earendil, being halfelven and thus mortal, made it there without death, and he nor Elwing really weren't supposed to be there. Perhaps the Valar said "All right they have mortal children, and they are mortal. But we are letting them stay here, what about the kiddies?"
And when I asked about only one lineage of halfelven, I forgot about the people of Dol Amroth, who legend says and Legolas confirmed are descended of Nimrodel and Mortals. Thus, the people of Dol Amroth have elven blood in them. Perhaps even Finduilas of Dol Amroth, wife of Lord Denethor Stweard of Gondor had at least a small bit of elvish in her.
