Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The legible draft card for Peter Konecny, age 23, living at 695 12th St, Milwaukee, gives birth date June 28, 1893, exactly matching the claim. Birthplace 'Mahren, Austria' is consistent with Moravia but does not identify the hamlet or parish. The date and province match, but the identity link to this specific person and the exact place rest on other evidence.
Matches: Name Peter Konecny (Konečný) matches Petr Konečný; Date of birth June 28, 1893 matches the claimed birth date exactly; Age 23 on 5 June 1917 fits a 1893 birth; Born in Mahren (Moravia), Austria, which fits a Moravian birthplace; Alien who declared intention, consistent with a recent immigrant from Moravia
Limits: Birthplace is given only as 'Mahren, Austria' (the province, Moravia), not Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice or Brumov parish, so the specific place is not confirmed; Card does not name the middle name Pavel; Nothing on the card links this man to the 1936 death or to the family tree's parents; A self-reported birth date on a draft card is a secondary source for birth
What it supports
- Born · 28 June 1893 · Svatý Štěpán (osada of Bylnice), parish Brumov na Vláře, Moravia — Petr Pavel Konečný
