Zlatica Dear,
Please note that Bohemia is not (and never was) a region. It is a land, forming (today) the western part of the Czech republic and (until 1918) it was a kingdom. Furthermore, in 1857 there was no Austria-Hungary, then (Austria-Hungary Empire came into being in 1867). In 1857, Mr. Tomáš Císaø (the correct Czech spelling)was born in the state called The Austrian Empire (of which the Kingdom of Bohemia was a part, then).
By the way "Císaø" is Czech for an Emporer. Thus (with a tongue firmly in ones cheek)Thomas Emporer was born in the Austrian Empire.
