Who’s who?
I made a handy chart for the Nelyar clan! There’s a lot of names for groups (as you can tell in my Names for Nandor post) and a lot of subsequent confusion, so here’s a simplified chart :)
[Image description:
Title, in all caps is “Nelyar” and the sub-title is “(eventually became Lindar (Q.) and Lindai (T.))”
There is a big blue circle encompassing all the groups, to show that they’re all considered “Nelyar, Lindar, or Lindai.” In the blue circle are two polygons, “Avari” and “Teleri.” “Avari” is a small purple circle that says, “Refused the Great Journey. 28 remained.” “Teleri” is a large pink polygon with multiple groups in it. below “Teleri” is “Began the Great Journey. 46 left.”
Within the pink polygon is another polygon labeled “Lindi,” which says, “Did not cross Hithaeglir.” There are two smaller polygons in the Lindi polygon. “Silvan” is light-mint green with no additonal text. “Green-Elves” is in a dark forest green with, “Arrived in Beleriand” written below it. Inside the Green-Elves polygon is a polygon labeled “Guest-Elves,” who are described as “merged with the Sindar.”
Back within the pink polygon labeled “Teleri,” there is a dark purple polygon labeled, “crossed Hithaeglir.” Within this polygon are two more polygons. “Falmari” and “Sindar.” Written in the “Falmari” circle is “Made it to Aman. 20 made it.” In the “Sindar” polygon, there are three final polygons. The first is a turquoise polygon labeled, “Iathrim” and written below it is “Settled in Doriath.” The next one is a blue one labeled “Falathrim” and has “Settled along Beleriands coast” written below it. The final polygon is blue-grey and is labeled “Mithrim.” Written below it is “Settled in the North of Beleriand (Lake Mithrim).”

if the image and image description didn’t help, I put a text description below the cut, with additional information.
