The manifest header states the ship sailed from Bremen. Line 29 lists Jan Konecny, a joiner from Bohemia whose wife Veronika lives at Hostany 166, so the departure place in the claim is directly stated. His stated age of 46 implies a birth year well before the claimed 1867 (about 1860 if the year is 1906). Either the birth year in the database or the identification of this passenger should be re-checked. The sailing date, which appears to be May 16th, 1906, could be added to the claim once the year is confirmed.
Matches: Header: ship 'sailing from Bremen', matching the claimed departure place; Line 29: family name Konecny (ditto from line 28), given name Jan; Line 29: Jan, joiner, Bohemia; nearest relative 'wife: Konecny, Veronika, Hostany 166'; Line 28: Frantisek Konecny, 18, glazier, single, nearest relative 'moth: Konecny, Veronika', so father and son appear to be travelling together
Flags: Age on line 29 reads 46, which implies birth about 1860 if the sailing year is 1906, against the claimed 1867. That is a gap of about 7 years.; Even if the year were read as 1916, an age of 46 implies about 1870, still about 3 years from 1867. Either way the age does not fit the claimed birth year.
Limits: Sailing date in the header is hard to read (May 16th; the year looks like 1906 on a Department of Commerce and Labor form). The claim records no date, so the date could be added only after checking it.; The ship name in the header is mostly illegible; The town name 'Hostany' is uncertain as transcribed; its modern place is not identified; The manifest gives an age, not a birth date
