Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The household on lines 36-40 includes Frank, son of Anna Konecny, and the 1935 residence column says 'Same place', which supports a 1935 residence in Manitowoc. The recorded age of 13 conflicts with a 1924 birth year, so the identification of this Frank with the person in the database needs checking. The residence claim is consistent but the identity is not firmly settled.
Matches: 1940 census, Manitowoc, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, Ward 2, ED 36-14, sheet 11A, lines 36-40: household of Anna Konecny (head, widowed, 48, born Czechoslovakia); Frank is listed as her son, born in Wisconsin, in a Czech-immigrant family, which fits the Konecny surname; The 1935 residence column (col. 17) reads 'Same place' for the household members, including Frank, so they lived in the same Manitowoc house on 1 April 1935
Flags: Frank's age appears as 13 in April 1940, implying birth around 1926-27, not 1924 (a 2-3 year difference). Either the database birth year is off or this may be a different Frank Konecny
Limits: The 1935 residence is given only as 'Same place', so the street address and the 1935 date are inferred from the 1940 location; The census does not give a birth date or death date, so it cannot confirm the 1924-2006 lifespan; Some handwriting in the age column is hard to read, so Frank's age of 13 is read with moderate certainty
