The page header states that the S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm II sailed from Bremen on August 12 of a 191_ year. Line 28 lists Petr Konečny, 19, a glazier from Kostany, Bohemia, whose nearest relative is his mother Veronika Konečny. The departure place of Bremen is stated directly, and the age fits a birth in 1893. The record does not show the middle name Pavel, so identification still depends on name, age and origin matching other records.
Matches: Manifest header reads S.S. "Kaiser Wilhelm II" sailing from Bremen, August 12, 191_; Line 28: Konečny, Petr, age 19, male, glaser (glazier); Nationality Austria, race Bohemian, last residence Bohemia, Kostany (Hostomice? reading uncertain); Nearest relative: mother Konečny Veronika, Kostany, Bohemia; Age 19 implies birth about 1892–1894, consistent with the claimed birth year 1893
Limits: Manifest gives only the given name Petr, not the middle name Pavel; The last digit of the year in the sailing date is not legible on the image; age 19 suggests 1912 or 1913; The claim records no date, so the August 12 sailing date cannot be compared and could be added; Identity rests on name, age and Bohemian origin; no parents' full names or exact birthplace confirm this is the same Petr Pavel Konečný
