My name is Tibor Pal. I am a Hungarian physician/microbiologist, currently teaching at the UAE University in the Emirates. I am trying to find my relatives who, I believe, should be living in the States or in Canada.
Unfortunately I have rather limited information available. All I know is what I can recall of hearing from my late father when I was a child, some 40 years ago.
I am looking for the descendants of the brother (Miklos) of my grandfather (late Leo Pal). The family is of Jewish origin, and was formerly called Leowy (Löwi, Löwy, Lövi ?). As far as I know Miklos (probably borne around 1880-1890, maybe in the Darda district in today’s Croatia ?) and Leo lost their parents early. Miklos left Hungary during the early 20’ies and never returned. There were correspondences between the brothers in the 30’ies, 40’ies, than it became quite irregular – but still existent – during the 60’ies and 70’ies. My grandfather married Maria Till and they had two sons, György Pal (borne in 1920) and Tibor Ferenc Pal, my father (borne in 1927).
If, based on this little information, someone could recognize his/her family’s story, or anybody could recall his/her parents/grandparents being in occasional correspondence during the 60ies and 70ies with Leo Pal and with his wife, Maria Till, who lived in Pecs, Kulich Gyula street (utca) 33, Hungary, please, let me know at
