Hermina Nachodova

This photo was taken in the 1880s. Our mother's mother was called Hermina Nachodova, nee Eisenschimmelova. Unfortunately we have almost no information about her. The only thing I know about her parents is that her father was named Jakob Eisenschimmel and his wife Aloisie. Her husband was Rudolf Nachod, who worked as a lawyer in Brandys nad Labem, in Prague and likely in Rychnov nad Kneznou as well.
