Not too long ago someone on this message board was trying to locate ancestors who had been glassmakers. I don't know if that was ever resolved and what I have quoted below probably doesn't fit the time frame that person was seeking, but I ran across this in a book I am reading, Czechs and Germans, by Elizabeth Wiskemann (Oxford U. Press, 1938): page 171 - "According to the calculations of the Deutscher Hauptverband der Industrie in 1930...Of the glass industry, which is mainly centred in Teplitz-Schonau (Teplice-Sanov), headquarters of the big Muhlig glass concern, and, of course, in Gablonz (Jablonec), it is also worth noting that the number of glass-workers employed sank in 1933 to about 30,000, where in the early post-War years more than 60,000 were kept busy. It is, however, difficult to get unquestioned figures here, since so many glass-workers in the Isergebirge villages to the north of Gablonz work in their homes with their families and are not organized; a great many others work in small workshops. South of Gablonz a considerable number of Czechs are involved in glass-making. The dependence of this town upon world prosperity is also conveyed by the fact that, small though it is, it contains between 500 and 600 exporters, mostly concerned with buttons, beads, and buckles made of some kind of glass." Hope this finds the right person and that it at least reveals where the primary locations for Bohemian glass-making were found. Bob Ullman ullman@easystreet.com
