It therefore remains unsure if Elmo would have a place in the Middle-earth [[canon]], as his position in the royal Sindarin family tree disappeared. Slightly later writings however make [[Círdan]] a descendant of Elmo{{Citation needed|reason=Where Elmo is connected to Círdan?|date=December 2013}}, making him a kinsman to Thingol (and Celeborn). Indeed Círdan had silver hair, a trait which is seen in Elwë and Olwë's family line.

Elmo was developed to explain the reference in The Silmarillion that Celeborn was a "kinsman of Thingol". One of the solutions was to establish Celeborn as the son of an unimportant brother of Thingol.

In other, later writings, Celeborn is made into a Telerin Elf, and a relative of Olwë of Valinor instead, but this was not further developed or published.
