The history of Bohemia is complex, but at times when our subjects were living, Bohemia was under Austrian rule, so you may see them shown as born in Austro-Bohemia or even Austria, which would not be correct based on today's geography. In 1918, Bohemia became part of Czechoslovakia; and in 1993, it became part of the Czech Republic.

I doubt if this enumerator's first language was English, and his handwriting was dreadful. I did the best I could, but I doubt if the extraction is entirely accurate.

Tombstones are notoriously inaccurate with regard to the birthyear of the deceased (please see discussion), though it's odd for the month to be wrong.
