John was born in Pomogy, Moson, Hungary as the son of John Wallisch and Julia Kolendorfer. The demise of the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy occured in 1918 and World War I set the date of Burgenland's official unification with Austria as August 28, 1921. On that date, Pomogy, Moson, Hungary became known as Pamhagen, Burgenland, Austria. Please note there is a conflict of the birth year for John Frank Wallisch. The headstone states he was born in the year 1887 verses the actual birth of September 08, 1888 in his 1942 World War II draft card, his 1920 Naturalization card and in his obituary. This does happen occasionally, as the living family members are upset at the time of death of their loved ones. Most likely, John was born in 1888.
