Question Names Associated With Elrond.

I'm currently in the midst of working on an Elrond fic, and try as I might to find the names in the appendix, I need clarification/names given for certain people. Do you think you could help, please?

Earendil - Elrond's father? (Elf?)
Elwig - Elrond's mother? (Human?)
Elros - Elrond's elder brother?
Elros' wife - ???
Elrond's sons - ??? (two or three is preferrable...)
Anarion - the human king that was killed during the War of the Ring?
Isilidur - the human prince that got hold of the ring?
Aragorn's mother/Arathorn's wife - ???
Elrond's wife - ???

Thanks!

Here is a link to 'Elrond', from the Barrow Downs' Encyclopedia:

Elrond

& here is a link to the Encyclopedia of Arda where you can do your other research:

Encyclopedia

It will clarify who's who and who's what, and why.

Earendil= Elrond's father

Elwing= Elrond's wife

Elros= Elrond's brother (I think they were twins, because I looked this up, and they were born in the same year)

Elros's wife= I can't find that and I'm going crazy because I know I've seen it before!

Elrond's sons= Elrohir and Elladan

Anarion= (by definition) Younger son of Elendil, who with his father and brother Isildur escaped from the Drowning of Numenor and founded in MIddle-earth the Numenorean realms in exile; lord of Minas Anor; slain in the seige of Barad-dur.

Isildur= (also by definition)Elder son of Elendil, who with his father and brother Anarion escaped from the Drowning of Numenor and founded in MIddle-earth the Numenorean realms in exile; lord of Minas Ithil; cut the Ruling Ring from Sauron's hand; salin by orcs in the Anduin when the Ring slipped from his finger.

Aragorn's mother= Gilraen

IN regard to specific familial relationships I would reccomend this rather extensive family tree:

Elrond's wife was Celebrian, daughter of Galadriel and Celeborn.

Elwing was Elronds mother, not wife.

That family tree is really cool, Finglofin. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
