Do you know what years the characters in the Silmarillion were born?
I'm particularly interested in the House of Finwë, since this House is loaded with important characters.

Here are a few of the ones I know of:

Fëanor - 1179 YT
Fingolfin - 1190 YT
Finarfin - 1230 YT

Then it goes on in this order:

Fingon > Maedhros > Turgon/Finrod > Angrod > Aegnor > Aredhel/Galadriel

I can't find most of the birth dates ANYWHERE, and I find it weird that Tolkien should decide birth dates for a handful of the characters, and ignore everyone else.

I have a particularly hard time with those pesky Sons of Fëanor, because none of them seem to reveal their birth dates.

According to the Annals of Aman, HoME X:

Feanor: 1179 (First Age)

Fingolfin: 1190

Luthien:1200

Finrod & Turon: 1230

Turgon and Daeron: 1300

Aredhel & Galadriel: 1362

Thanks, but I'd still like to know the other ones as well. :)
