New York, U.S., Arriving Passenger and Crew Lists (including Castle Garden and Ellis Island), 1820-1957

Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
This is the manifest of the S.S. Fürst Bismarck, Hamburg 23 Sept 1903 to New York Oct 1903, List 9. Line 23 shows Frantiska, age 20, single, travelling with Antonia (line 22, age 17), whose surname appears to read Tauber. Frantiska is going to her brother Vaclav Tauber at 4717 Hermitage Ave, Chicago. The given name and surname match the claimed name, and the age fits an 1883 birth, but the record cannot confirm the death year or tie her to the person by parentage.
Matches: Line 23: given name 'Frantiska', surname shown by ditto under line 22, which appears to read 'Tauber' (Antonia, 17); Line 23 says she is joining her brother 'Vaclav Tauber, 4717 Hermitage Ave, Chicago Ill', which confirms the surname Tauber; Age 20, female, single, Bohemian, sailing September 1903, which implies birth about 1882–1883 and fits the 1883 birth year; Destination Chicago, Ill.
Limits: The manifest gives an age, not a birth date, and says nothing about the 1955 death; Surname on line 22 is hard to read in the scan. 'Tauber' is supported mainly by the brother's name in column 16; No parents' names or birthplace are given beyond last residence (possibly 'Mostiz'), so the link to this specific Františka rests on name, age and destination
