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.
Line 11 of the Saale manifest (Bremen to New York, 1900) lists Josef Tauber, age 21, male, Bohemian, last residence 'Mostice', bound for Chicago Ill. to a relative at 1064 S. Kedzie Ave. The age implies birth in about 1878–1879, consistent with the claimed 1879. 'Mostice' is plausibly Mostiště written without diacritics, but it is a residence, not a birthplace, and no district is given. The record is consistent with the birth claim but does not state the date or the place of birth.
Matches: Line 11 reads 'Josef Tauber', male, age 21, which matches the claimed name exactly; The S.S. Saale sailed from Bremen in 1900 ('12/6' 1900). Age 21 at that date implies birth about 1878–1879, which agrees with 22 March 1879; Nationality is Bohemia, which agrees with the claimed Bohemian birthplace; Last residence reads 'Mostice' (diacritics unclear). This is a close form of Mostiště, plausibly the same place written without the háček and with a shortened ending
Limits: A passenger manifest gives an age, not a birth date. The exact day, 22 March 1879, cannot be confirmed here; Column 9 gives last residence, not birthplace. Even if 'Mostice' is Mostiště, the record does not state he was born there; The manifest gives no district, so it cannot confirm Mostiště in Rokycany as opposed to another place of similar name; No parents or other identifiers are given. The link to this Josef Tauber rests on name, age and origin only
