Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
Line 10 of this Norddeutscher Lloyd manifest lists Vaclav Tauber, 26, a married miner from Bohemia, travelling with Františka (26) and Jaroslav (2) to a brother-in-law in Chicago. That fits a Bohemian-born Václav Tauber, but the list states no birth date or birthplace. The stated age points to about 1875; if the sailing year is 1901, it is roughly two years off the claimed 17 November 1876. The last-residence entry does not clearly read as Mostiště, so the record neither confirms nor clearly contradicts the claimed birth date and place.
Matches: Line 10: 'Vaclav Tauber', male, age 26, married, miner, nationality Bohemia (ditto marks); Travelling with Františka (26, f) and Jaroslav (2, m) Tauber, a plausible wife and child; Going to a brother-in-law, Vaclav Skrejkovski, 4938 Winchester Ave, Chicago, Illinois; S.S. Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse, Norddeutscher Lloyd, sailing from Bremen to New York, c. 1901
Flags: Age 26 implies birth about 1875. If the handwritten sailing date reads 10/11/1901, a man born 17 Nov 1876 would have been 24, a gap of about two years. Check the exact sailing year.; The last residence on line 10 is hard to read (looks like 'Chrances' or similar) and does not obviously read as Mostiště or Rokycany
Limits: A passenger list gives an age, not a birth date or birthplace; Last residence is not necessarily the place of birth; Handwriting for the sailing date and the residence is faint, so the readings are uncertain
