The citation lists Franziska, 26, arriving in Sept 1901 with husband Vaclav, which implies birth around 1875 and fits the claim of 'about 1875'. The age supports an approximate birth year only. The surname variant and the lack of an image or other identifiers make this consistent rather than fully supportive.
Matches: Franziska is the German form of Frances; Age 26 in September 1901 implies birth about 1874–1875, matching 'about 1875'; Traveling with husband Vaclav, with surname Tanber as a plausible variant of Taubr/Tauber
Limits: No image attached; only the citation text was assessed; Passenger list gives an age, not a birth date or place; Surname is indexed under husband as 'Tanber', a likely transcription variant of Taubr/Tauber, not confirmed; The citation does not show that Franziska is the same Frances Taubr (1875–1951) beyond name and age; The text does not give her maiden name, so it is unclear whether Taubr is her birth or married name
