Bohemia was part of the old Austro-Hungarian Empire. Look for old maps online -- and look in European history books -- for the information that you need.
You are a true angle in the dark. My great grand fathers name was Frank Brunner he was born September 5, 1871 on the papers from the state of Ohio Untied states Department of labor naturalization services he say's he was born in Bohemia Austria.He arrived in new york new york May 22, 1902 and sailed on the ship Barbarossa he left Berman Germeny I know from our cencus that he was here in Cincinnati and married with childern in 1908 I know he married my Great Grandmother Anna It is either karsel or korsel from litchnia czechoslovakia. I still hve one living Aunt who can rember some. She said That Frank left to avoid the draft and cam to the U.S. She said anna left ended up in Boston workking for a rich irishman then came to Cincinnati, Ohio got married and started a family by the cencus of 1910 here.
