My father's mother, Hermina Balas Sipeki was born in April 1897 and died in the fall of 1988. When she was 2, she lost her mother. In her young age, she became a ladie's companion in the Majtényi Castle in Verseg (Pest county, Hungary).
Did my grandmother ever have a connection with Béla Balás Sipeki, the builder of Sipeki-Balas villa (now the Blind Institute)? Still a mystery to me! The building was designed by Ödön Lechner, one of the greatest Art Nouveau architects of the age, situated in Herminamező(!!!), Budapest.
