At the very end of Appendix A there's a dwarf family tree that was compiled for King Elessar by Gimli. No problem with that, except that Gimli himself is in the family tree, with two dates under it. The second date, according to Appendix B, is the date that Legolas and Gimli sail their grey ship to the Undying Lands. Gimli could not have written the second date on the family tree. Was that a later addition to the Red Book by one of Master Samwise's descendants?
