Well quite, there is usually somebody in the family no one wants to talk about coughUncleCharliecough. And I know from investigation into my own family history that the truth can get distorted for many reasons.

I often wonder if Gil-galad’s name Ereinion was a private joke at his inability to settle on his lineage scion of kings - several simultaneously rather than sequentially father to son..
