Forweg-> Turin-> Tuor-> Elrond-> Balin-> Fundin
Is that too many steps?

Nope, five steps; six people, just below the max. Good job!

Are we allowed to use Sauron and Morgoth?
If so: Ar-Pharazon -> Sauron -> Morgoth -> Feanor -> Mahtan I am assuming that Morgoth and Feanor were acquanited after Morgoth (Melkor) had been pardoned by Manwe. That is the impression that I have. But, if not: Ar-Pharazon -> Sauron -> Morgoth -> Finwe -> Feanor -> Mahtan

Either of those are quite acceptable, I think...
(My solution was Ar-Pharazon-> Sauron-> Celebrimbor-> Curufin-> Nerdanel-> Mahtan, so I suppose Sauron & Morgoth are legitimate [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) Sophia

Was there ever any interaction between Aragorn and Saruman in LotR? I am not sure that Aragorn spoke when he accompanied Gandalf and Theoden to parley with Saruman at Orthanc.

My books are packed away as I'm moving out of the dorms tomorrow, but if it doesn't work the way I have it, you can always replace Aragorn with Grima and it all works... Eowyn->Grima->Saruman->Beren->Egalmoth->Ecthelion I

That's the one I had in mind, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'll take a go at it...
Aldarion-> Gil-Galad-> Elrond-> Saruman-> Thengel-> Fengel...??? I don't really know if there was interaction between Saruman and Thengel, but I would think there was, since it was during Thengel's reign that Saruman pronounced himself Lord of Isengard and Theoden refers to Saruman's friendship with Rohan in LotR.

Welcome back, Sophia. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Hmm, you may be right about the connection between Saruman and Thengel, but there is a much less speculative connection ...

Alright then, I have to take it in an extra step though (I think that's allowable? Six steps, seven people??).
Aldarion-> Gil-Galad-> Elrond-> Merry-> Theoden-> Fengel Sophia

Theoden never knew his grandfather. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
You had it almost right before - just replace Saruman with someone else ...

Drat you Saucepansss [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] why must it be so blasted complicated! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] you mean Grandfather -> Grandson isn't close enough to be covered by the relatives clause? *sighs* alright then.
Aldarion-> Gil-Galad-> Elrond-> Gandalf-> Fengel ?

Is the missing link Aragorn? He knew Elrond of course, but he had served Thengel in Rohan before he came to Gondor (as Thorongil)

Indeed he did, Eruanna. Aragorn is the missing link (Homus Dunedainus [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ), so you are correct. Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

This one is probably too easy...
Narvi to Bungo Baggins, in 6 or less steps.

Narvi-> Celebrimbor-> Curufin-> Maglor-> Elrond-> Bilbo-> Bungo.
There are seven people, but only six steps there. Sophia

Can you substitute Curufin and Maglor with one person? (Trying to get my own back for Odd item out, here [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img] )

That is almost the same as I was thinking. I had Narvi > Celebrimbor > Galadriel > Frodo > Bilbo > Bungo.

Alright, next one is:
Elrohir -> Brand NOT using any of Thorin's company, including Bilbo or Gandalf. Sophia

I think this works:
Brand > Bain > Bard the Bowman > Thranduil > Legolas > Elrond > Elrohir

Exactly how I had it, although you can go straight from Legolas to Elrohir, as they were both members of the Grey Company... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Your go!

I'd forgotten the Grey Company connection!
Here's another: Galathil to Ghân-buri-Ghân. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
