Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
Line 66 shows Marjorie as a single 14-year-old daughter in Norman Wood's household in Two Rivers, Wisconsin, which fits the residence, marital status and relationship claimed. Age 14 is consistent with a 1925 birth. The record does not give her middle name or her married surname, so the identification relies on the name and age match.
Matches: Image is the 1940 census, Two Rivers, Ward 3, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, sheet 1B, matching the citation detail; Line 66: Marjorie, daughter, in the household of Norman Wood (head, 50, born New Jersey) and Mae (wife, 48, born Illinois); Marjorie is marked single (S) and her relationship is daughter, as claimed; Place of residence Two Rivers, Manitowoc, Wisconsin matches the claim; Marjorie's age is 14 (born about 1925-26) and her birthplace is Illinois, which is consistent with a 1925 birth; Siblings Franklin, Virginia, Katherine and Norman Jr. fit a Wood family with Illinois-born older children
Limits: Census gives age 14 rather than a birth date, so it can't confirm the 1925 birth year exactly (age 14 on 1 April 1940 implies a birth between April 1925 and April 1926); The middle name June and the later married name Konecny are not in the record; identification rests on the first name, age and family; Handwriting is small and somewhat hard to read, and the surname is read from the head's entry, so the match depends on that reading; Nothing in the record links her to the later Konecny marriage
