I am trying to build a owner tree if you like, i have the above info and the details of the person i purchased it off last year and he only owned it for around 1 year. If anyone has any tip i would appreciate it greatly.
you are lucky in that you have both ends of the 'tree' to work from.. Pursue from both and see if you can 'meet' in the middle.. :)
You are lucky! Here's a long discussion that may be helpful:

Car was in GA in 2007.
Thanks all for your input so far, i think i have tracked down a phone number for the original owners i will try to give them a call and find out, they may even have a picture or 2, now that would be good.
I also have had a reply from Chevrolet Customer relations centre and they advised i contact General Motors Heritage Center. i will also try them.
I have the info of the previous owner and he was living in North Augusta SC , not really sure where it is at but i will figure it out. Cant find any info/leads on him
I have also heard back from Parsons Buick Plainville, CT, they used to own The Parsons Chevrolet Co and sold the dealership in the mid 70's to Winsted Ford, and am still waiting to hear if they may have old records as Parsons didnt.
Gotta say i have had some good leads so far hope they keep coming.
I have actually found the original owners although the husband passed away only last Easter Sunday. I just started ringing people with the same names in the same area and i got them first up. how about that......!
She is going to write down anything she can remember of interest and look for any old pics of the car when it was new, how luck is that. It's a shame i didn't do this a few months ago and i could have then spoken to both of them...
Got a letter and 2x pictures sent to me from the 90y/o lady that used to own this car(see attached)
She tells me i am the second owner and gave me the name and phone number of the 2nd owner, cant wait to call him up in the morning and talk to him too.
Good looking '69. Good luck with your research.
