If my memory serves me well, Elros and Elrond are described as the `twin sons of Earendil` in the Tale of Years printed in HOME XI, The War of the Jewels. I don`t know if there is an explicit reference, but as far as I can recall, Elros is generally named first when the brethren are mentioned together. This fact, combined with a quote from `The Problem
of Ros` where Elros is described as `first` (sorry, can`t remember it more precisely), makes me suspect that Elros was the elder twin. Hopefully others more erudite than I can clarify this.
