This is a complete family tree of the Elves and Men in Tolkien's Middle-earth!

Every reader of "The Lord of the Rings" and especially "The Silmarillion" is overwhelmed by a vast number of names and relations. The connections between the inhabitants of Tolkien's world are so complex that one easily loses orientation.

So I decided to draw a family tree some years ago. It started with the main linage from Thingol down to Aragorn. Then it grew. And grew. Alone the protagonists were connected in such a complex way that it was a real challenge to put them on paper in a legible way. Not to speak of all the minor characters.

Of course I tried to achieve completeness. I even added names only mentioned in "The History of Middle-earth". But I had to set limits. I decided to add only names connected to the main linage, regardless of whether they are connected directly or by detours. Where no connection is given I decided to exclude. Some will easily recognize the absence of Legolas and his forebears Thranduil and Oropher. Their connection to the mail linage is given nowhere (except that they are Sindar) and I didn't want them to be in limbo. Dwarves and Hobbits are missing likewise.

A little description to the different colours: The names written in blue are Kings or (in the case of the Stewards) Ruling Lords. The green ones are all other rulers. The red names label the different Houses of Elves and Men.

Have fun with it! And be warned: Some people already tried to print this family tree in original size - it is huge!
