Gimli and Balin
Beorn

A quick question:

(correct me if I'm wrong on any points)

Gimli is the son of Gloin . And Balin is the son of Hundin. And Gimli's cousing is Balin, so Balin is the the brother of Gloin? And that would mean that Dwalin is Gimli's uncle (and Gloin's brother). I didn't see anything about this in the Hobbit, so could somebody tell me if I'm right?
