BIOGRAPHY MEETING VILMA: SEARCH FOR A STAR
|
Although I had been somewhat sure of Vilma's birthyear occurring in 1898, further evidence is
pointing to the fact
that Vilma may, in fact, have been born in a different year.
The date of her birth is consistently listed as January 09th, but the year is disputed by many sources:
-1898-
-1901-
-1902-
-1903-
Her death certificate lists it as unknown.
The mystery grows - on to Vilma's last name...once again, many sources are in conflict!
Most of her biographical listings say she was born Vilma Lonchit or Longit. However, her father may have been
named Johann Konsics Bánky*. In Hungary, she was known as Bánky Vilma. Another source also says her birthname
was Bánky Vilma Baulsey.
[*We now know that this was, in fact, his name, but other sources still erroneously list her birth name many different ways.]
Apparently, Vilma's early life is still a mystery!
