Ah, my thought on Glorfindel is that he did 'die' when fighting the Balrog, but his fea(spirit) was given a new hroa(body) and he was allowed to return to Middle-earth when Mithrandir and the rest of the Istari came to ME. He got to come back sort of like Beren and Luthien.
So, he's probably about 5-6000 years old maybe? (Pretty old anyway)

A suggestion for reading the Silmarillion-
bookmark all the maps and geneology charts!! It makes things alot easier and less confusing if you have easy access to these!
