Joseph LESZAK

                       Vilma's daughter Nely told me that Vilma had beautiful blond hair.  Franz
    Joseph was at Vilma's communion and thought she was very cute.  He patted her
    on the head as he walked in behind her.
                  

                       Etta came out of Hungary during the uprising in 1956.  She gave her jewelry to
    the border guards and walked across the border.  She was picked up by George and
    Marion Hoppe from a Red Cross camp in Bremem, Germany.  They put her on a ship
    to America.  She lived in Sarasota, Florida with her sister Emma's family until
    she died.  She married and divorced Peter Seitz.  He was a handsome man from a
    rich family.  He had a liquor business and a chauffeur.  He spent all his money
    on gambling and Etta finally said, "Enough", and divorced him.  (She married
    divorced before she came to America.)  Emma came to America in 1914 with her
    sister Emma.  She couldn't return because of the war.  She tried unsuccessfully
    to keep Emma from marrying August Hoppe.  She felt her sister should also return
    to Hungary.  In Hungary Etta worked in her father's store.
                  

                       Emma grew up in Budapest.  Her father was wealthy.  At that time Franz Joseph
    was the Austrian Kaiser and the King of Hungary, ruling both countries.
    Franz Joseph and his wife Elizabeth had a son named Rudolf.  Rudolf and his
    two daughters took rides in carriages and stopped and talked to the people in
    front of Emma's house.  Emma came to America on the ship Prince Frederic Wilhelm
    in 1914 with her sister Etta.  They were going to visit their Aunt Emma Szalvay
    who was living in New York.
    She got caught here by the war and stayed and married in the Newark, N.J. area.
    She lived there until her husband retired, after which they moved to Florida.
    After her husband died she moved to Pennsylvania and lived with her daughter
    Eleanor and family until her death.  Her favorite opera was Carmen.  She was a
    very nice person.  She began losing her eyesight in her 20s and was legally
    blind in her older years.  Her nickname was Tomi.
    Emma went to a little school for girls in Budapest.  She also went to high
    school and three years of college there.  While in America during WWI she lived
    with her Aunt Emma in Newark.
                  

                       Joseph apparently died during WWII.  Death date may be 1946.
