Answer:

I too often wonderedMy grandmother long since passed away was a 'Van Tassel' from Tarrytown NY and often heard about the Van Tassel family historyShe always alluded to more than the child's fable ever toldAs an adult I realize now that the times she spoke of must have been told to her when she was also a childI too would love to dig into the family tree.
most homes dont insulate between floors.we design the HVAC system to control the heat/ac so both levels r the same.if u r going to insulate between the floors.i would go with unfaced and leave a 1 air space between the top of the insulation and the sub floorlicgencontractor
