Yes, Aragorn's ancestor (great-great-great-great-great-great-great... etc. grandfather) was Elrond's brother. Basically, Elrond and his brother, Elros, were both half-evlen and given a choice as to which race to belong to. Elrond chose the way of the elves, while Elros chose the way of men. So Aragorn and the other Dunedain/Numenoreans half some elf blood, and that's why they are "cooler" than normal men. Word.
