Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image of the original 1917 draft card is readable. It names Peter Konecny (surname cursive), born 28 June 1893 in Mahren, Austria, and living in Milwaukee. This fits the claimed name in its Anglicized form and the 1893 birth year. The middle name Pavel is not recorded, and nothing on the card links him to the specific family in the database beyond the name, birth year and Moravian origin.
Matches: Given name Peter matches Petr (English form); Family name written as Konecny/Konečný variant, matching the signature; Date of birth June 28, 1893 fits the 1893 birth year in the claim; Born in Mahren (Moravia), Austria, consistent with a Czech/Moravian person; Signed and registered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 5, 1917
Limits: The card shows 'Peter', not 'Petr Pavel'; the middle name Pavel does not appear; The surname is in cursive and hard to read exactly; it looks like Konecny but the diacritics cannot be seen; The birthplace is given only as 'Mahren' (Moravia), with no town; it cannot be tied to a specific family; The card does not show parents' names or a death date, so it cannot confirm that this is the same Petr Pavel who died in 1936
