I they were from Bohmen, that is Bohemia. Bohemia was an Austrian crownland and all citizens of Bohemia were Austrian citizens. That is why they called themselves Austrian rather than Bohemian. So don't waste time looking for them in today's Republic of Austria. That is not where they lived. As a first search try: FamilySearch.org Anton Schembera - International Genealogical Index / CE Gender: Male Birth: About 1770 Boehmisch Truebau90, , , Austria Böhmisch Trubau is in Bohenia Johann Evangel Schembera - International Genealogical Index / CE Gender: Male Birth: 1841 Oberjohnsdorf, , Boehmen Koenigreich, Austria Oberjohnsdorf in Bohemia ROSINA SCHEMBERA - International Genealogical Index / CE Gender: Female Marriage: 18 NOV 1736 Jedli, Maehren Kroenlande, Austria Jedi in Moravia -- the easter part of the kingdom of Bohemia. Katharina SCHEMBERA - International Genealogical Index / CE Gender: Female Marriage: 25 NOV 1924 Eisgarn, , Niederoesterreich, Austria This marriage took place in the Republic of Austria but the bride could have been from Bohemia because the two shared a border. Using that search with oher names you list produce a lot of results for Germany in Wurttemburg, Bavaria and the Bavarian Pfalz (both bordering on Bohemia) but that was all. There were a lot of Schemberas in Texas per that search. Texas has a relatively large group of people with Moravian ancestry and I would guess those Schemberas might be Moravian like Rosina Schembera above. Just baseed on that I would probably start my search in Moravia. Karen 9.
