Judita Jovanovic’s grandfather Mirko Bohem with railroad employees

My grandfather Imre Biro (or Mirko Bohem as he was still called at the time) with his colleagues in a railway office in Budapest. Mirko is the third person from the left in the first row.  

He was born in Kisber, Hungary, in 1885. He changed his name from Mirko Bohem to Imre Biro in order to ease his assimilation into the local life.
