On page 12 (pdf page 16) there are descriptions of the followers of "Feanor's second brother" and later the followers of his "third brother".
1. Feanor was the eldest of the three sons of Finwe.
2. The two younger sons would be the second son, Fingolfin and the third son, Finarfin of Finwe.
3. But they could only be the first (half-) brother and the second (half-) brother of Feanor.
Further note: the third son / second half brother, Finarfin, did not go into exile back to Middle-earth (although his children did). So is it fair to say that his "followers" live yet in Lindon? Finarfin's followers would have stayed with him in Valinor.
EDIT: Agree with Capt Haddock in the previous post concerning the Unseen Library. But would add that the descriptions in the text of the Entrance Hall have features that cannot be seen in the drawing of the house. Page 35 (page 39 of the pdf) there are four lines immediately before the section The Great Hall: Where are the covered/screened passages from the Entrance Hall going into the Hall of Fire and into the Great Hall? Why is there only ONE flight of stairs instead of a flight "on both sides" ? On the same page the Great Hall description does not tie up with the drawing very well at all.
Where is the screened entrance from "the Corridor" going into the Great Hall? There IS a doorway from the Corridor, but using this as the way in puts the orientation of the tables and Elrond's seat in some confusion.
