This is plain to see in family tree III in the Sil., so I can't claim to have cleverly figured it out:

Elrond & Elros' mother, Elwing, is the daughter of Dior. Dior is the son of Beren. Beren is the son of Barahir.
Barahir's brother, Bregolas, is the father of Belegund, who is the father of Rian, who is the mother of Tuor, who is the father of Earendil. Who, of course, is the husband of Elwing, and the father of Elrond and Elros.

Which means that Elwing and Earendil share a great-great- and great-great-great-grandfather, respectively.
