<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 28238, member: 44&quot;]&gt;Do you think it is two people from the same family? With the two different names, two different time periods but very similar styles and similar handwriting, I would venture to guess it probably is.&lt;</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmmm... I haven&#039;t a clue, but something tells me not because the sig are just tooooo similar, the painting all seem to be of the same locale, and they all appear to date from the mid 1900s. Did you look at the other replies on that rootsweb forum query? I read a couple of them with one of them saying:</p><p><br /></p><p>Date of Birth</p><p>24 January 1906, Palotaújfalu, Austria-Hungary (now Hungary) </p><p>Date of Death</p><p>30 April 1968, Budapest, Hungary.</p><p>Alternate Names:Barsy Béla</p><p><br /></p><p>saying Barsi was an actor with painting a hobby. This would account for the lack of paintings and lack of diversity in landscapes. The reply linked to the following:</p><p><a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0058278/bio" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0058278/bio" rel="nofollow">http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0058278/bio</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The earlier dates might be say his father with sellers hoping the painting(s) were that old. I do think most everyone feel the paintings are mid-1900s.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
