Thranduil and the Mirkwood elves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Are the Mirkwood elves sindar? Cause It seemed as if they were something like the Morequendi when I was researching, or at least Silvan elves. But Doriathan elves?! It's almost impossible to imagine. I mean, wasn't Elrond a descendant of the sindar? And Galadriel's pure silvan elf, and she looks like the elves from Mirkwood do, and the sindar look different from the silvans. I know FOR SURE that Galadriel and all the lorien elves are silvan. So all the silvan elves should have similar appearance, right? This doesn't make any sense.
