Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows a Milwaukee directory page with one Peter Konecny, a welder at 695 12th, sharing the address with Frank, Jno and Jos Konecny. This fits a young single man living in a family household. The record does not identify him beyond the name, and the year and marital status come from the citation and inference rather than the page.
Matches: The page is from a Milwaukee directory (Milwaukee streets such as Grove, Greenbush and 12th av; Milwaukee businesses in the ads).; The Konecny block on p. 874 lists "Peter welder h r 695 12th", next to Frank, Jno and Jos Konecny at the same address.; The entry has no wife or "wid" notation, and the "h r" (rooms) form with several Konecny men at one address fits a single man living with relatives.
Limits: The page image does not show the directory year, so 1917 rests on the citation detail alone.; The entry gives no middle name, birth date or age, so it cannot confirm this is Petr Pavel Konečný (1893–1936) rather than another Peter Konecny.; A directory does not state marital status; single is only inferred from the absence of a spouse.; A single directory year supports residence in 1917 only, not the full 1917–1918 range.
