I was quite intrigued by one aspect of ArquenoSingollo72's original question (welcome by the way!)...could the three rings and their owners in any way correspond to the three elven kindreds?
Cirdan - Teleri
Gilgalad - Noldor (all we can assume with the absence of mothers in the genealogy)
Galadriel's foremothers are however mentioned and through them she has the blood of all three kindreds in her veins: Vanyar, Teleri and Noldor.
Elrond - he had the lot of course, Teleri, Noldor, Maia, the three houses of Men...all except Vanyar.
