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): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
On the 1903 Fürst Bismarck manifest, line 23 is Františka, age 20, single, Bohemian. She appears to travel with Antonia T[a]uber (line 22) from a place reading roughly 'Mostitz' to her brother Václav Tauber in Chicago. Her age fits a birth in March 1883, and the residence plausibly corresponds to Mostiště. However, the record does not state a birth date or district, so it is consistent with the claim rather than proof of it. A Czech parish baptismal register for Mostiště would be needed to confirm 6 March 1883.
Matches: Manifest of S.S. Fürst Bismarck, sailing from Hamburg 23 September 1903 and arriving New York 2 October 1903 (List 9, steerage); Line 23: 'Františka', female, single, age 20. The surname appears to be carried down from line 22, Antonia T[a]uber, age 17, nationality Austrian, race Bohemian; An age of 20 in late September or early October 1903 implies birth about 1882–1883, which fits 6 March 1883; The last residence on the adjoining line reads approximately 'Mostitz', plausibly the German or phonetic form of Mostiště; Going to her brother Václav Tauber, 4717 Hermitage Ave, Chicago. Passage paid by brother, final destination Chicago
Limits: A passenger list gives an age, not an exact birth date. The day and month (6 March) are not stated; Rokycany district is not named. 'Mostitz' must be matched to Mostiště near Rokycany, and other places with similar names exist; Line 23's surname and last-residence entries are dittoes or faint marks. They are read from line 22, and the handwriting is hard to make out; This is an immigration record, so it gives only indirect evidence of birth
