Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): partial, confidence 2/4, tier record.
Lines 28–29 list Frantisek Konecny, 18, single, glazier, and Jan Konecny, 46, joiner, both from Bohemia (Hostany). Their nearest relative is Veronika Konecny, Hostany 166, recorded as Frantisek's mother and Jan's wife, which makes them likely father and son. This supports the residence in Bohemia, but it contradicts the 'Single' marital status, since Jan is shown with a wife. The age of 46 also places his birth several years before the claimed 1867.
Matches: Line 29: given name 'Jan' under the family name 'Konecny' (ditto from line 28), age 46, occupation joiner; Last permanent residence for Jan given as Bohemia; the town on line 28 (Frantisek) is Hostany, apparently dittoed for Jan; Nearest relative: 'wife: Konecny Veronika, Hostany 166', the same relative and address listed for Frantisek Konecny, age 18, on line 28; Bohemia is the historical name for the region; 'Czechoslovakia' is the later country name, so the places are consistent
Flags: The manifest names Jan's wife, Veronika Konecny, so he was married, not single as the claim note states. 'S' (single) is written on line 28 for Frantisek, age 18, and may have been attached to Jan by mistake; Age 46 implies birth about 1860–1864, depending on the sailing year (1906 or 1910). That is more than one year off the claimed birth year of 1867
Limits: The sailing date in the header is hard to read ('May ... 1906' or a similar year), so no exact date of residence can be fixed; A passenger manifest records last permanent residence at the time of emigration only, with no start or end date; Only page one of the two-page manifest is shown; height, birthplace and destination columns are not visible; The 'Hostany' reading is uncertain and the modern locality has not been identified
