Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier index.
The citation gives only the census locality, page and enumeration district, with no names or transcription. It cannot show that a Frank Konecny appears on the page, so it does not state the name claim. It is at most consistent with the claim, and the entry would need to be checked against the actual census page.
Matches: Census place Manitowoc, Wisconsin, is a plausible residence for a Konecny family, and the child would be about 5-6 in 1930 if born in 1924; 1930 census would list a child born 1924 in the household
Flags: No transcription, household members or names are given, only the census location and page; No image attached, so the name Frank Konecny cannot be confirmed from the record; Citation does not identify which person on page 30A is Frank
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The attached image shows the census page cited (Manitowoc City, sheet 30A). Line 10 reads "Frank", son, age 5, in the household of Peter Konecny, so the name Frank Konecny is directly stated. The age fits a 1924 birth. The record does not cover the death year.
Matches: Image is 1930 census, Manitowoc City, Manitowoc, Wisconsin, ED 36-20, sheet 30A, matching the citation's place and page; Household of Peter Konecny (head, 36) at lines 6-11 includes "Frank", son, age 5, single, born Wisconsin; Age 5 on April 26, 1930 implies birth about 1924, matching the 1924 birth year in the claim; Father and mother born in Czechoslovakia (Bohemian), consistent with a Czech Konecny family
Limits: Census gives only the name and age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1924 exactly; The census does not show his death in 2006, so it says nothing about the later part of the lifespan; The surname is spelled "Konecny" in the image (the Konečný form without diacritics), which is the expected variant; The earlier validator note was written without the image; ED is shown as 36-20 on the form, while the citation gives 0020
What it supports
