Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
Line 28 of this Kaiser Wilhelm II manifest (sailed Bremen, August 12th) lists Petr Konečny, 19, a Bohemian glazier from Austria. His mother, Veronika Konečny, is named as his nearest relative in Bohemia. The ship, name and implied birth year (c. 1893–94) agree with the claim and with the cited Declaration and Petition. The 20 August 1913 arrival date is not written on this sheet, but it is consistent with an 12 August sailing from Bremen. Checking the facing page and the volume's arrival date would make this fully supporting.
Matches: Line 28: Konečny, Petr, age 19, male, occupation glaser (glazier); Ship header reads S.S. 'Kaiser Wilhelm II' sailing from Bremen, matching the ship named in the naturalization papers; Nationality Austria, people Bohemian, last residence Bohemia, place read as 'Kostany'; nearest relative given as mother Veronika Konečny of the same place; Age 19 implies birth about 1893–1894, consistent with the 1893 birth year; Collection is New York arriving passenger lists (NARA T715), consistent with arrival at New York
Limits: The page gives the sailing date from Bremen as 'August 12th, 191_'. The last digit of the year is not clearly legible, and the New York arrival date is not shown on this sheet.; A 20 August arrival fits a typical Bremen–New York crossing, but the date comes from the naturalization papers, not from this image.; The middle name Pavel does not appear. The manifest gives only 'Petr'.; Only page 1 of the manifest is shown. The facing page (physical description, birthplace, final destination) would confirm identity further.
