On this Bremen manifest, line 29 is 'Jan', age 46, joiner, from Bohemia, with the Konecny surname carried down by ditto from line 28. His wife Veronika Konecny of Hostany(?) 166 is named as nearest relative, the same address given for 18-year-old Frantisek Konecny's mother. The record states the name Jan Konecny. Whether he is the person born 1867 depends on the sailing year, which is not clearly legible: 1906 would give a birth year near 1860, while about 1913 would match 1867.
Matches: Line 29 gives the given name 'Jan', with ditto marks carrying down the family name 'Konecny' from line 28 (Frantisek Konecny); Konecny is the unaccented form of Konečný, which fits a Bohemian family; Jan Konecny, age 46, joiner, married; nationality Austria, race Bohemian, residence Bohemia; Nearest relative is his wife, Veronika Konecny, at Hostany(?) no. 166 [reading uncertain], the same place as Frantisek's mother Veronika, so they are likely father and son
Flags: Age 46 places his birth about 1860 if the sailing year is 1906, about seven years before the claimed 1867. It fits 1867 only if the year is about 1913. The year on the header (May ...?) is not clearly legible, and the form is the Department of Commerce and Labor version used 1903–1913.
Limits: The manifest gives the name with no diacritics and the surname only by ditto marks; It gives an age, not a birth date; The ship name and the year at the top of the page are hard to read; Nothing else in the entry links this Jan to the database person beyond the name
