Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier record.
The image shows Peter Konecny, a Bohemian-born renter in Manitowoc, with wife Anna, both apparently aged 28. The name and origin fit, but the age points to about 1891–92 rather than 1893. The census cannot show the exact birth date or village, so it adds little for this birth claim. Identity is plausible but unconfirmed.
Matches: Line 57 reads Konecny, Peter, head, renting, male, white, married; Birthplace and parents' birthplaces are given as Bohemia, with Bohemian mother tongue, which fits a Moravian-born Czech immigrant; Immigration year appears to be 1913, with an alien or naturalization-pending status; Household is in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, with other Konecny households nearby on the same sheet
Flags: Stated age appears to be 28, which implies birth around 1891–92; a 28 June 1893 birth would make him 26 on 12 Jan 1920, a difference of about 2 years; Birthplace is given only as Bohemia, while the claim places birth in Moravia; this is probably loose usage but is not exact
Limits: A census gives only an approximate age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 28 June 1893; It gives no village or parish, so Svatý Štěpán / Bylnice / Brumov is not shown; It does not show the middle name Pavel; The entry is not tied to the claimed Petr Pavel Konečný by any relationship or other detail, so identity rests on name and origin alone; The handwriting is faint, so the age and immigration year are not fully certain
