Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The directory image shows a Peter J. Konecny, welder, wife Anna, at 1031 N 18th, Manitowoc. That is plausibly the same man as Petr Pavel Konečný, but the entry gives only an initial "J", not Pavel. The page is from 1928, not the 1926 in the citation. It is consistent with the name claim but does not establish the full name or the dates.
Matches: Entry "Konecny Peter J (Anna) welder Manitowoc Ship Bldg Corp h1031 N 18th" gives Peter Konecny, a Czech-American surname in Manitowoc; Peter is the English form of Petr; Surname Konecny matches Konečný
Flags: Middle initial is "J", but the claim's middle name is Pavel (would be "P"); The image shows the 1928 Wright directory (pp. 190–191), but the citation says 1926, so the citation does not match the image; Another Konecny, Jos (Agnes), lives at the same address, so the entry needs checking against the right household
Limits: A directory gives no birth or death dates, so it cannot confirm 1893–1936; It does not name parents or place of birth, so identity rests only on name and locality; The wife Anna is not part of this claim, and nothing in the claim confirms her; Directory entries are secondary evidence for a full name
