* Tejfalu, July 27, 1901 – † Tejfalusziget, August 2, 1966 / ethnographer, ornithologist, hunter ; ; He began his schooling in his native village, and graduated in Bratislava. Under the guidance of Károly Kunszt (Somorja), he conducted ornithological research in Csallóköz, which was noticed by the Hungarian Ornithological Institute and the MNM. As a result of the research, he enriched Endre Kleiner's (1909–1984) research on the bird fauna of the middle section of the Danube with many data. He contributed greatly to the expansion of the natural history collection of the Csallóköz Museum in Somorja. His legendary trophy and bird egg collection was destroyed in World War II. After the war, he himself moved to Szigetköz, Tejfalusziget in 1947, where he resumed his collecting work. Several of his short articles were published in the long-standing yearbook of the Ornithological Institute in Aquila. He was not only an ornithologist, but also an enthusiastic nature lover and hunter. He also did significant local history and ethnographic work: in the 1930s and 1940s he processed the history of the public domain of his native village. His grave can be found in the Dunakiliti cemetery. ; ; His main works: ; From the history of the public domain of Tejfalus (Ethnographical Bulletins 3rd vol., 4th issue), 1958, ; Lajos Csiba's diary: upper-Csallóközi farmer's rules, superstitions, tales, folk customs (ed.: Lajos Presinszky), 1996, ; Autumn deer bellowing, spring sniping: Csallóközi hunting diary, 2002.
