Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The manifest image is readable. Line 28 lists Petr Konečny, 19, a glazier from Kostany(?), Bohemia, and gives his nearest relative as his mother 'Konecny Veronika' of the same place. This supports the given name Veronika and a married surname Konečný. It does not show the maiden name Kadlec or a birth year, so the claim is consistent rather than stated. Identifying her with Veronika Kadlec requires a marriage or baptism record linking Kadlec to Konečný.
Matches: Line 28: passenger Petr Konečny, age 19, glazier, Austrian subject, Bohemian, last residence Kostany(?), Bohemia; Nearest relative column for line 28 reads 'moth: Konecny Veronika, Kostany, Bohemia', so the given name Veronika matches; A mother of a 19-year-old in the 1910s fits a woman born in 1867
Limits: The mother is named only by her married surname Konečný; the maiden name Kadlec does not appear; No age or birth date is given for the mother, so the 1867 birth year cannot be checked; The year of sailing is partly obscured ('August 12th, 191_'), on the S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm II from Bremen; The record does not itself show that this Veronika Konečný is the database's Veronika Kadlec; that link depends on other evidence for her marriage and her son Petr
