Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier record.
Line 28 lists Petr Konečny, 19, male, glazier ('glaser'), nationality Austria, people Bohemian, last residence Kostany, Bohemia, with nearest relative his mother Veronika Konečny of Kostany. The age fits a 1893 birth if the voyage was in 1912 or 1913, but the record gives no birth date or birthplace. Its Bohemian residence and ethnicity contrast with the claimed Moravian birthplace (Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice), so identity is uncertain. The second manifest page, if it can be found, should give the place of birth and settle the match.
Matches: Line 28: family name 'Konečny', given name 'Petr', the same name as the claimed person; Age 19 on a voyage dated August 12, 191_ (S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm II from Bremen) implies birth about 1892–1894, which fits 28 June 1893 if the year is 1912 or 1913; Male; nationality Austria (Austria-Hungary), consistent with a Moravian-born man of that period
Flags: Race/people is given as 'Bohemian', last permanent residence country as 'Bohemia', and town as 'Kostany' (likely Košťany, Bohemia). The claim places the birth at Svatý Štěpán, Moravia. On line 30 the clerk wrote 'Moravia' for another passenger, so 'Bohemia' looks deliberate. This is a concrete reason to doubt that this Petr Konečný is the claimed person.; The nearest relative is given as mother 'Veronika Konečny', Kostany, Bohemia. The database does not confirm whether she fits the claimed person's family.
Limits: The manifest gives an age, not a birth date; Only the first page of the manifest is attached. The second page, which usually has the place of birth, is not shown, so the claimed birthplace cannot be checked.; The year on the sailing date is only partly legible ('191_'), so the implied birth year is approximate; A passenger list is not a birth record. Last permanent residence is not the place of birth.; The record gives only one given name, 'Petr'; 'Pavel' does not appear
