Are my Bohemian ancestors and my Czechoslovakian ancestors the same ethnic group and/or culture?

278 views

My mom’s side of the family has a list of what ethnicities we have. Bohemian and Czechoslovakian are both on that list as completely separate ethnicities. Recently someone told me that they’re actually the exact same thing. I found sources confirming that, but I also found sources saying that Bohemia is a part of Czechoslovakia (an “all thumbs are fingers but not all fingers are thumbs” kind of situation). Then my ADHD got me down a Wikipedia rabbit hole before I could find a clear answer as to which is correct, and now my brain hurts too much to keep searching. Please help me.

To make things really interesting, I have Czech/Bohemian ancestors and my 23andMe results shows that I have Polish ancestors. (But they’re really just the same people.)
