[Arpad Vas and Molly Vas were other "cousins" (pronounced "vush)]</p><p>Arpad's Uncle Frank (Mester) lived in Europe. After WWI the borders moved and his villiage was then in Czechoslovakia across the Tisza River. He would smuggle things into Hungary.</p><p>Janos, Arpad's father was an officer in the cavalry. He left because he saw too many things that he didn't like.
