Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image is a readable 1950 census page. Line 13 shows George J./S. Wood, aged 58, born New Jersey, an accountant, married to Amanda L. The first name, surname and age fit the claimed man, but the record cannot confirm the full name 'George Slack Wood Jr.' because only an initial is given and it is ambiguous.
Matches: Line 13 is George Wood, head of household, in Marshfield, Wood County, Wisconsin (ED 71-22, sheet 73), matching the citation detail; Age 58 at the April 1950 census implies a birth in about 1891–92, which fits 1891; Born in New Jersey; the claim gives no birthplace, so this is not checked against it; Surname Wood and first name George match the claim
Limits: The middle initial is handwritten and could be read as J or S. It cannot be confirmed as S for Slack.; The census does not show 'Jr.' or the full middle name 'Slack'; Age gives only an approximate birth year, so 1891 is not confirmed and the death year 1977 cannot be checked; The record does not show that this George Wood is the same person as the George Slack Wood Jr. in the database. That depends on other evidence, such as birthplace, wife and residence.
