Hi Nandor,
My name is Laszlo Vass and I am the grandson of Jozefa Luksch, sister of Ferenc Loskay (Luksch), your great grandfather. It would be very nice to get in touch with you as we lost track completely... I have a picture of Ferenc Loskay in uniform, my mother gave it to me. We live in Hungary and I have heard many stories about the family.
If you read this after 5 years of your original post, please contact me. My email is:

Thansk, regards,
Laszlo
