Ah, Legolas, my old nemesis, how good to see you again...

Have to point out again that the Elves of Greenwood were Nandor, not (technically) Silvan. Silvan is a description of their living arrangements, not their kindred.

If you must, look to the back of your copy of the Silmarillion. The Kindreds are as follows: Eldar (Elves of the great Journey from Cuivenen), Vanyar (All went to Aman), Noldor (All went to Aman), Teleri (those who went to Aman), Sindar (Those who remained in Beleriand. Sindar is a name given to them by the Noldor, they called themselves the Eluwaith, Elu's People, and Lindar as a general term for the entire kindred), Nandor (Those who left the march before the Misty Mountains, some of which afterwards crossed into Beleriand. These are the 'Silvan' Elves of Greenwood), Laiquendi (those of the Nandor who crossed over into Beleriand) and the Avari (who remained in Cuivenen).
