Does anyone know the family tree link between Aragorn and Isildur? I've been able to track Isildur back to King Thingol(Elwe) and Melian the Maiar and Aragorn back to Arador on his fathers side and Aranarth on his mother's but there is where I lose the link. If anybody is obsessed enough to be able to help me with this question I have many more and perhaps I could help you.

Still, you had to look it up, type it all out. Some people might not have even taken the time.

Thank you very much for answering my question. My appreciation knows no bounds. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. What book did you get it from?

It's in "The Languages of Middle-earth" by Ruth Noel. For some reason they stuck a detailed family tree in there. You should be able to pick it up in your local bookstore.

You can find the same stuff in the Appendices, Appendix A. You are right about Elwë. As a matter of fact you can trace Isildur's lineage not only back to Elwë, but also to Ingwë (or at any rate one closely related), Finwë, Beor, Marach and Haleth (and thus Haldad). Aragorn and Arwen's children probably had the claim to the noblest lineage of their time.
