Joseph gave a wonderful cryptic eulogy at the funeral as well.

Below is what he had worked into it which really confused people except for those in the know about about 20% of people there but her secret stayed with her.

Himitsu-Bako (Personal Secret Box) History
The trick box. The secret box. The magic box, mystery box, personal box, puzzle box... No matter how you identify these traditional Japanese wonders, they are among the most intriguing and beautiful wooden art in the world.
On the surface, the Personal Secret Box is entirely enclosed. It's just a pretty box. There is no apparent lock and seemingly no opening whatsoever. However, as one begins to investigate closely, interesting secrets begin to reveal themselves! If you look very carefully, you will see that it's surface includes several movable pieces. You can slide this piece here, move that one there, push another on the opposite side, and so on. Alas, unless a precise step by step trick opening sequence is followed, the box remains impossible to open. Every trick box has it's own unique series of steps that must be followed.

Last bit of the story sorry for hogging forum and theres actually lots more but I don't want to get booted, all I know is my father is Hungarian and his name is "beelah" not even sure of spelling I never got around to quizzing her but was about to do it but alas she passed on.

So figure hes passed on , but will start with electoral role and look sort of nine months before I was born or maybe back a bit further and perhaps Hungarian club or the likes I have no last name to go on.

I could have another lot of siblings hiding away waiting to be discovered.

My youngest had to do a family tree at school once, my wifes mother and father Austrian/Russian swiss separated and both since remarried, so he has to grandmas and two grandpas on that side then my mum who lives 16kms away is nanna and then there was Irma and myriad of uncles and aunties. He said to the teacher my family tree is a bit complicated more like a family forest.........

plenty more but that it but will add irmas drivers liscense got taken away due to ms complications before she became wheel chair bound one of her last acts whilst driving on her last day was to do a dirty great burn out at some stop lights and gave some hoons the finger and sped off in her black Nissan skyline I kid you not I wasn't there but that the story.... and I wonder were I got my devilish habits from.....
