This wouldn't probably help much with the genealogy part but-- The shows put on by the people that collect bottles and insulators often have "go withs", old advertisements, books about them, etc. There may be shows for insulators. I know there are sometimes table(s) of insulators at bottle shows. What you can find out about a particular one, I don't know. Also, many collectors are very knowledgeable about the people who made and sold the bottles originally, etc. There are bottle magazines published and thus there are probably insulator magazines. If you can find them, send a letter to the editor asking readers to respond if they have information about him. It's worth a try. Marge Green > I am looking for Buzbys in Royersford, Pa.
