cities in Bohemia late 1800s?

I am attempting to do some genealogy work and found a death cert that lists the parents coming from a couple cities in Bohemia. Unfortunately I cannot locate those cities. The handwriting is a little difficult to read but LDS/family search has transcribed the cities as:
Planeny, Boh. – Anton Nedelka (1886 – 1924 Ohio)
Koteboge, Boh. – Frank Nedelka
Potome, Boh. – Mary Zemliska

to find the record:

http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsear…

type in Anton Nedelka
click on the second record listed

thanks
other Boh. cities from those death certs:
Hoton
Stisoff

again this is based on the translatation not how they were actually spelled.
they might have immigrated around 1904… i’m checking this out based on some ancestry.com sources

I think they are right except for Koteboge-it should be Koteboze. What you have to remember is that this record dates back to 1924, and there is nothing to indicate when they came to this country. Many places changed names about the time of World War 1, so you need to see if your local, or nearby college, library has atlases going back to the end of the 1800s and early 1900s. You might be able to find them on those, but you may not if they were small towns or villages.
Your other option is to post an inquiry on the message boards of the genealogy websites, asking for information on places in Bohemia prior to WW1.
