Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
Line 28 of this S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm II manifest (Bremen, sailing 12 August 191-) lists Petr Konečny, aged 19, a glazier. He is an Austrian subject of Bohemian people from Kostany(?), Bohemia, and his mother is named as nearest relative. The name matches the claim except that the middle name Pavel is not written. His age is consistent with a birth about 1893. The record supports the given name and surname but cannot confirm the full name 'Petr Pavel'.
Matches: Line 28: family name 'Konečny', given name 'Petr'; Age 19, which fits a birth about 1893 if the voyage was in 1912 or 1913; Male, nationality Austria, people Bohemian, last residence Bohemia, apparently 'Kostany'; Occupation glazier ('glaser'); Nearest relative: mother, a Konečny ('Veronika'?) of Kostany, Bohemia
Limits: The manifest gives only 'Petr' and does not show the middle name Pavel; The year on the header is printed '191', and the final digit is not clearly legible, so the implied birth year is only approximate; The manifest does not record a death date, so it cannot confirm 1936; Nothing here ties this Petr Konečný to the database person beyond name, age and Bohemian origin
