Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is readable and entry 92 shows Blanca (?) (Blazina) Tauber, daughter of Joseph Tauber and Anna Kral, born 10 July 1911 and baptized 3 Sept 1911. The surname and birth year match the claim, and Blanca is a plausible Latin form of Blanche. The priest's question mark, the alternate 'Blazina' and the missing middle name L keep this at consistent rather than fully supporting.
Matches: Entry no. 92 on the 1911 baptismal register page records a child 'Blanca (?) (Blazina)', surname Tauber; Parents are Joseph Tauber and Anna Kral; Born 10 July 1911 and baptized 3 Sept 1911, which fits a person born in 1911; Surname Tauber matches the claim; 'Blanca' is a Latinized form of Blanche
Limits: The register gives the first name as 'Blanca (?)' with a parenthetical 'Blazina', so it does not state 'Blanche L.'; The middle initial L is not shown in the record; The question mark and the alternate 'Blazina' show the priest was unsure of the name, so the record does not firmly settle it; The claim lists no parents or birth date to compare, so identity rests on the name and year only; The record does not show the person's death in 1999
What it supports
- Person — Blanche L. Tauber
