Research of my father: KLIMCSOK JOSEF born on December 20, 1920 in Hungary. Arrived in Australia in 1949. Impossible to know his journey since this date, unless a person uses the same identity! Thank you for any information. I live in France and the searches all lead to Australia.
There are some definite events for him until 1959. There are a number of possible events after this date, but I am not sure whether they are for the right person.

Marriage to Terazia Keleman

Thank you for all the information, I finally have reliable news from my father. I also have for the first time a photo of his face!!! It is indeed Josef, the player from Socer. So I just have to look on the USA side for the last questions. You were wonderful.
Apparently he was in Mexico from 1964 to 1968 and In 1975 he was in Casablanca …
