Okay, generic possibilities:
- The grandchildren of Finwe and their descendents.
- The house of Elwe and Olwe - Luthien is 1c1r to both Celeborn and Galadriel, for example.
- The early Edain; I wonder whether Beor might be one of the two, perhaps by way of the leader of one of the other houses being called his cousin.
- The late Edain, centred around the cast of the three Great Tales.
All of which come together in the vicinity of Earendil.
I did wonder if it could be Luthien and Idril, but I don't think Her Highness of Doriath is that closely related to the Gondolin crowd.
It might be Luthien and Aredhel, if we believe that Eol is first cousin to Thingol. They both met a man in the woods and thus began the significant parts of their stories. But I think Eol is only "kin" to Elu.
