Ferenc Sandor's relatives

I don?t know who these people are. They are definitely relatives of mine. The picture was taken in the 1860s, and is very interesting because the hat on the right side is a so called ?Kossuth hat.? When the photo was taken, before the Conciliation between Hungary and Austria, this kind of hat was a political statement. It meant he supported the Conciliation. He, as a Jew, was very much assimilated, and he felt himself a real member of Hungarian society.
