One thing not mentioned in the OP is that Lord of the Rings could even be seen as Family Saga.This is because Aragon descends from the Neumorian (I know I'm probably misspelling it) kings which began with the brother of Elrond of Rivendell. As Elrond chose the elvish way his brother chose the human and so Aragorn and Elrond's daughter are distant cousins. And the Orcs are descended from elves that were corrupted by Morgoth at a distant time in the past. So it could altogether be considered a family saga as some of the corrupted elves may have been related to Elrond as well.
