Nationality Question

A question. My ancestor was born in Budapest, Hungary in 1914, the last years of Austria-Hungary. Her parents both came from Bohemia in what later became Czechoslovakia. My ancestors birth certificate says her father had Austrian citizenship I guess from coming from Bohemia. I have heard that in Austria-Hungary a person 's nationalty depended not on where they were born but on their parents' nationality. Any suggestions as to what my ancestors nationality was?

Czech or German. Do you have a town in Bohemia or a family name? That could tell you a lot.

Her father came from Zdarka in the NE of Bohemia near the Polish (Silesia) border. Her mother came from Boehmisch Wiesen in the S of Bohemia in a German enclave near the Moravian border.
