Imre Kiralfy
(The genealogical details
(names and dates) are thanks to Jean Kiralfy Kent, who has done loads of
research and contacted many family members.)
(Since there's recently
been discussion of Imre and Royalty, I'm posting my Imre pictures below, even
though I haven't yet organized this page properly. I'll adjust it and add
to it later (I have some casual pictures of Imre on visits to NY) but in the
meantime, herewith Imre and Royalty...)

I believe all these pictures to be from the King of England's review of
the Opening of the White City in London in 1908.

I'm indebted to Fred Owen for this picture which actually has the
names of the participants! Much more information than I ever
had! Click through for a better view.

I don't know what fabulous Order Imre is wearing, but Jean Kiralfy Kent
found the following reference, so perhaps it's that? I'm happy to be
corrected if Imre received many fancy Orders and someone can identify this
one.
