Hello Joanne,

This is a lovely poem written as a remembrance by "your loving relative" Piroska Ungar and dated in Miskolcz (Hungary)on May 3, 1899. Ungar is the surname and Piroska might translate to the given name of Rosie.

I am not sure about his, but it might have been written to someone by the name of Sary (Sara). The last line before the signature states: "never forget me".

Perhaps this is not clear to you, but it does give you some names with which to do more research....Jo

He first word of the poem is "Jarj", meaning "Go", not Sary.
