No, no, the killing part was also true, but it referred to something else. The Rohirric-family part is the most difficult about it, obviously, but this is ultimately what lead me to forming the question.

Maybe that their sons killed Orc chieftains whose heads were separated from their bodies
I believe Golfmbul's head fell down a rabbit hole, while Azog's and Ugluk's were set on stakes.

Seems you heeded my advice
Good, good. The killing of Orc leaders was sufficient. Now it's your turn, so I hope you'll present something interesting and brain-racking, so that I have things to do for late nights!

Now this one is really an interesting one:
What do Faramir, Sam and Frodo have in common?

I don't know, being in Henneth Annun? I suppose it's something that really no one else has, right?

no
But please mention that thing; it might be it is what I had in mind, but that I overlooked Beregon (though I doubt it). That way we could avoid making this a very long thread.

I thought that it might have had something to do with being given mercy, or a certain privilege, by the King, and hereditable, at best. But I guess that's off track...

No, since others such as Hama had suffered the same fate
This thing is, as far as we know, only reserved to them.

I suppose you mean Faramir as the brother of Boromir and son of Denethor, that one Frodo&Sam met in Henneth Annun, right? Just for confirmation.
EDIT: And, to not make the thread too long - by the "Men of the White Mountains", you mean all Men of the White Mountains, or just the Dead of Dunharrow? (and/or their ascendants?)

No, since there are many more whose mothers are dead
As I said, this is only restricted to them as far as I know.

Just like Thranduil, Celeborn, Ghan-buri-ghan and many others.

 I thought about several things, had the Men of the White Mountains not been there... Could it be that they understood Aragorn was King before he was officially made the King? I think not, but I really can't make anything better

'I have no fitting gifts to give you at our parting,' said Faramir; but take these staves. They may be of service to those who walk or climb in the wild. The men of the White Mountains use them...........
I don't know if anyone else uses them but it is a link.

Being killed by Dwarves because of some issue with a necklace?

What do the Gondorian stewards of Isengard and Galadriel have in common?

Maybe that they ruled over people of a different folk then their own.
Galadriel was one of the Noldor, ruling over Silvan Elves. The chieftains of Isengard were Gondorians ruling over people with mixed blood, partly Dunlending.

Hmm, hmm, sure, but for example Thranduil also did that... try to focus another direction.

Well the chieftains were left in charge after the lords of Gondor left that area, just as Galadriel came to Lothlorien after Amroth disappeared.

That's not much good answer. The Stewards were appointed by Gondor, and were still the same folk. No, no, I had something different in mind.
Try to think about Rohirrim (in both cases).

Ah...maybe that the Rohirrim lived close to Lorien in earlier times, and later close to the chieftains of Isengard?

Maybe that they helped the Rohirrim.
The chieftains by keeping watch over the northwest of Rohan and by keeping any evil Dunlanders out (at least for a while) and Galadriel by providing Eorl and his host with a protective cloud of mist so they could pass unseen near Dol Guldur.

Well, that was quite short-term. And the protection was not much... both Lórien and Isengard cared mainly for themselves. Try to look from another point of view...

No, no....
Okay, let's repeat it... Isengarders and Galadriel (personally)... what do they have in common... and think from the point of view of the Rohirrim. Now THAT was the biggest hint I could ever give...

omg, I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since you first asked this...lol
Anyway...new idea...they suspected them of witchcraft and dark magic I only now had the idea the answer might not be in LotR, but UT and so it was...I guess.

Yup, that's it, being accused of witchcraft. Take over, please.

What do Treebeard and the Witch-king have in common?
(could well be they have more then just this, but what I'm looking for is quite obscure) Oh, and a good hint: the answer is to be fund in Tolkien's works

Then that they were both charmed by his voice to leave Saruman alone for the moment.
