I'm wondering if somebody saw the genealogy chart for Círdan at Tolkien Gateway, but misread it. It does show him to be a kinsman of Elwë and Olwë (and Elmo), but not a brother.
Elmo didn't make it into the published Silmarillion, but he was the brother of Thingol and Olwe. His descendants include Celeborn, who married Galadriel, and Nimloth, who married Dior.
A closer look at the genealogy will reveal that the Eldar are an incestuous bunch! 😳
