I was wondering, does anyone know of other writings by Tolkien that concern Boromir- where he was stationed prior to leaving for Imladris, what battles he participated in, any relationships that might have been signifigant...? Is there anything in Tolkien's writings that shed light on these questions?

In addition to the Appendices, I would look into The Histories of Middle-Earth, volume 6, The Return of the Shadow. I seem to recall some mention of him, there.

Most of the information concerning the Haradrim is in books like Unfinished Tales, and Silmarillon. Yet its not really about them specificly.The Harad, like the Easterlings were of the race of men who never left Middle-Earth. Most of these types of people went through what Tolkien described as a "dark age". No info is really presented about them. The only ME remainies to be discussed in detail was of course the Rohirrim. About the Haradrim however, I feel, and this is just in my opinion, that some of the Haradrim have a bit of royal NĂºmenorean blood. Considering how close the Corsairs and the Hrad were to eachother they must have intermingled a bit.

The existance of such posibility you will find if you look into a precedent with queen Beruthiel.
Tarannon, the king of Gondor married her after extending his dominion far over Haradwaith.It said that marriage didn't work and she was sent with her cats back where she came from -Harad.
Her marriage shows that the royal house was not quite strict about choosing a spouse from the royalties of other coutries.

And all the Nazgul were Kings with Numenorian blood and one was a Haradrim lord.

And all the Nazgul were Kings with Numenorian blood and one was a Haradrim lord.Only 3 Nazgul were Numenorean, IIRC.

Correct indeed. The other Nazgul were various cheiftans and sorcerers from among the men of ME that did not go to Westernesse.
