Re: Galadriel, Celeborn and Elrond
Celeborn's parentage was left unsettled. In one version, he is the grandson of Olwe of Alqualonde and they meet in Valinor before the rebellion of the Noldor (CT describes this version as possibly being the last writing of JRRT on Middle Earth, but it conflicts with express statements in LoTR). Another version has Celeborn as the son of Elmo, brother of Elwe (Thingol) meeting Galadriel in Doriath.
Elmo, by the way, is the cousin of Ernie, Big Bird and the Cookie Monster who come not into these tales. <img src=wink.gif ALT="
