THE SEARCH FOR PAULÍNA’S GRAVE – PART 2

We entered the large wooden doors of the "Bishop’s Farm" and just inside there was an office with a young priest. He wore a long black cossack. We repeated our request for information about the location of the grave of Paulína Miklová. We told him that she had been employed at the Bishop’s Farm.

The priest responded that the records were once kept there at the office, but they had been taken by the government in 1950 after the Communists took power. He may have said something about the national archives having the records. He then suggested that we go directly to the cemetery, which was located north of Hodonín, and check the office there.

This is a picture of our translator, Gabriela, and me at the front gate of the Bishop's Palace in Hodonín.
