Arwen is related to Galadriel?

They changed a lot of relations and stuff in the movies. After all, they say that Bilbo is Frodo's uncle. And wouldn't Galadriel just be Arwen's grandmother on her mother's side?

Gosh-darn-it, I don't have my book with me right now. I will work with memory (which is skecthy at times). It is true that in the movie they call Bilbo, Frodo's uncle (the most memorable is at the end on the way to the Grey Havens). We all know this is immpossible since Bilbo was an only child. My point is that in the FOTR I think chapter 1 they say that although Bilbo is Frodo's cousin, he often referrs to him as his uncle. So in that they WERE keeping with the book.

I want to than EXA and Mormegil for spelling everything out like that. It is so much easier to digest that way! LOL I am still working my way through the books beyond the LOTR. They are facinating but at times confusing.

Frodo was Bilbo's first cousin once removed on his mother's side and his second cousin once removed on his father's side. Lot's of complicated relations. Family trees are fun though!

Cant be because there are nearly two decades between that - Bilbo's party, the beginning (and Eowyn is only 5 years old at that time), is in 3001 TA and the ending, the fall of Sauron, is in March 3019 TA

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's the 39th king of that line.

Not 39th KING but 39th descendant of Elendil or Isildur (I dun remember exactly 😮 ) but those were also the 2xth (24th? 25th?) heirs of Elros whose parents brought the elvish blood - so quite a distance between.

He was born on March 1st, I think, so depends on when you think the war can be counted as war...
The scene with Eowyn should surely be AFTER March 1st
