I am looking to see if anyone recognizes these cousins, if anyone knows a surname, if anyone knows what happened to them.
Our family surname was GRUNFELD, originally from TiszaUyluk, then the family moved to Ungvar, and some to New York.
Thank you

Hello Leya,

This back of the photo is signed by Hersele and Laja Gitele. Dated in Ungvar on December 1938. I will try to translate the text of the card for you (if possible) at another time. Could it be that you have been named after Laya/Laja?..Jo
