Biography[]
Jozsef Kasalyak was born in in Vajdacska, Austria-Hungary (present-day Hungary) on 19 May 1913. He became an orphan as a child. Therefore, he had to work hard from an early age. He worked as a stable boy in numerous manors.
Jozsef married at the age of 20 and had 10 children (he outlived four of them). He owned a land where he would work even as a centenarian, although he officially retired in 1973.

The exact number of his descendants was unknown; he had more than 20 grandchildren, dozens of great-grandchildren and more than 10 great-great-grandchildren.
