I think we've hit a goldmine here, I'll knock up an email to the Tolkien estate in the morning.

If it comes in a LEGO version then it's sold!

I don't know that Aragorn and Arwen would be uncomfortable with being distantly related. I suppose it would depend on whether women in the line that Aragorn's paternal ancestors married were also closely related. The British royal family has those kinds of links many times over, and though I know they're not exactly an amazing endorsement of the point I'm pursuing, it's not really a big problem to marry someone with very distant familial links. Some of the biggest marriage taboos are around marrying brothers/sisters of a dead husband/wife.
