Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1930 Marshfield, Wood County, Wisconsin schedule (sheet 5-B). On line 78, George Wood is head, 38, married, an accountant, which matches the residence claim (place, year, marital status, relation, occupation). The only soft spot is the handwritten middle initial, which does not clearly confirm 'Slack' or 'Jr.'.
Matches: Line 78 reads 'Wood, George E.', relation Head, in Marshfield City, Wood County, Wisconsin; Marital status 'm' (married), with 20 years in first marriage, matches 'Married'; Occupation reads 'Accountant', industry 'Independent', matching the claim; Age 38 at the April 1930 census implies a birth around 1891–92, consistent with 1891; Sheet 5-B and ED 71-15 match the citation (Page 5B, ED 0015); The family is listed with a wife and four daughters, all enumerated in the same household as owners of the home
Limits: The middle initial is handwritten and looks like 'E' (it could be 'S'), so 'Slack' is not confirmed; 'Jr.' is not shown in the record; The census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm the 1891 birth year exactly; The record cannot confirm the 1977 death or the parentage of George Slack Wood Jr.; Birthplace is given as New Jersey, father's as Canada-English and mother's as New York; I did not compare these with the database person's parents
