More than two, regarding Celeborn's clan anyway; but Tolkien decided to publish that Celeborn was Sindarin in any case: once in
The Return of the King, and again (in the next decade) in
The Road Goes Ever On.

One regarded, of course, his Sindarin roots and relation to Thingol, but the second one was that his name was Teleporno, a Telerin Elf of Valinor who meets Galadriel in the Telerin city of Alqualonde, and then the two decide to set off for Middle-earth. Although not part of the Kin-slaying, they are caught up in the Ban because they have not sought permission to leave Valinor.

They had no part in the Rebellion in this late adumbrated version (Tolkien arguably forgot he had already published that Galadriel was a rebel Noldo, and so much so that she was banned at the end of the First Age), however Galadriel was given a 'part' in the Kinslaying in some measure, despite that the fight is against Feanor. Galadriel seemingly had no part in the 1950s when she was first introduced into the texts concerning the Elder Days.
