Key Men

Hador Lorindol (Goldenhead), from the house of Malach went into the service of Fingolfin and was given reign over Dor-Lomin and his house only the Elvish tongue was spoken. . Hador's sister was Adanel. Hador became the mightiest of all the Edain at this time and his lineage were Men of renown.  He had two sons: Galdor and Gundor; the sons of Galdor were Hurin and Huor. Turin was Hurin's son and Tuor was Huor's son. Tuor was the father of Earendil the blessed.

Boromir the grandson of Bëor the Old was leader of the House of Bëor. His son was Bregor and his grandsons were Bregolas and Barahir. The sons' of Bregolas were Baragund and Belegund. Morwen was daughter of Baragund and mother of Turin. She was proud and stern. Rían was the daugher of Belegund and the mother of Tuor. She was of gentle spirit. Out of this line also came Men of renown. Barahir's son was Beren whose child was Elwing, wife of Earendil, and of whom would come all Kings of Numenor. Turin would be born in the year that Beren came to Doriath. But that story is not yet come as this post is mostly about important genealogies of Men caught in the Doom of the Noldor.

Hador's daughter (Gloredhel) and his son Galdor each married the respective son and daughter of Halmir, who was a lord of Brethil. These are the Folk of Haleth. It is interesting that The Silmarillion talks about Hador's two sons and The Children of Hurin speaks of a son and daughter. Galdor and Hareth had two sons: Hurin (3 years elder) and Huor. The brothers had much love for each other and were seldom separated in youth.
