Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The 1950 census sheet, line 24, lists Norman B. Wood as head, age 60, married, born New Jersey. This fits a November 1889 birth, since he would be 60 in April 1950. The record does not give the day, month, or town of birth, so it is consistent with the claim but does not state it.
Matches: Line 24: Wood, Norman B, head, M, white, age 60, married, born New Jersey; Age 60 on 5 April 1950 fits a birth in November 1889 (he would be 60 until November 1950); Birthplace state New Jersey matches the claimed Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey; Household in Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, E.D. 36-83, matches the citation
Limits: A census gives age and state of birth, not the exact birth date (6 November 1889); It does not give the town or county of birth (Ridgefield, Bergen); The claim is for a person (1889–1950), and the census does not show his death in 1950; Identification rests on the name, age and birth state, as no relatives are named to confirm it
What it supports
- Born · 6 November 1889 · Ridgefield, Bergen, New Jersey, USA — Norman Bentley Wood
