The N family I found, doesn't live on ET. That's the thing.
He wouldn't have been looking for ET/EL house numbers. It would only have been a street he turned onto, to get to the street the N family lived on.
I don't know if this was a family member. It was just one of those odd coincidences I thought we should bang around a bit:
A famly with the same name as SK had visited three days before, living near a street with a near-identical name as the street he walked down.
SK's family talks how he enjoyed doing genealogy; maybe he had found something on the N family, as a way to ingratiate himself. Maybe he had done temple sealings of N ancestors, and wanted to tell them about it?
If you do enough genealogy, you find everyone's related way back when.
If Steven had directions, I think they were on paper. He had no Magellan, Garmin, and (evidently) had never searched for that address through his computer.
Before I got my own Garmin, I'd be driving in strange cities and have to follow a map I'd printed out from online mapquest.
I was always making wrong turns. And someone's directions given over the phone could be even worse or more confusing.
I drove and walked confidently, because I didn't know I was in the wrong place.
ANYWAY, I was just giving it as an example as the kind of thing we'd played with and discarded.
