Tracing Bohemian/ Czech ancestors

[innerspark]

Hi,

I am looking for Oscar Zenker, he was born in 1889 in Katharinaberg, now in Czech, but then in Bohemia.
He emigrated to England in 1910 with his 2 step brothers (with the surname Kopke).

Do you know how I can trace his ancestors?

I have had a look at the Czech websites and so far, no luck  (I am a beginner and don't speak the language!)

Thanks in advance
