: : Again in another HoME, (in the Grey Annals?), there is a
: : listing of Orodreth's son Haldir - I think this was edited out
: : later - and also don't forget Findulias, who remained in the
: : Silmarillion. I'm in the Fingolfin-Fingon geneology camp for
: : Gil Galad, so I'll take any excuse I can find to keep Gil Galad
: : away from Orodreth's line :)

: I don't understand why people don't want Gil-galad to be Orodreth's son. This was Tolkien's decision on the matter. Christopher Tolkien has admitted that he interjected the incorrect lineage for Gil-galad into THE SILMARILLION.

: I am too ill right now to do any research. But people can certainly search the archives for the names of the Elves mentioned earlier to see if their wives' names have been brought up in past discussions.

This is off subject, but I hope you get better soon.
