Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier index.
The card, number K 525, names Peter Konecny of N. 20 St., Manitowoc, Wis. It records naturalization on Jun. 6, 1922 in the Circuit Court of Manitowoc County, certificate P-855. That states the claimed event, date and place explicitly, and the birth date of Jun. 28, 1893 fits the 1893 birth year. Because this is a derivative index card rather than the petition, the middle name and birthplace cannot be confirmed here. The petition, traceable through certificate P-855, would be the stronger source.
Matches: Family name 'Konecny', given name 'Peter' (English form of Petr / Konečný without diacritics); Date of naturalization: Jun. 6, 1922, matching the claimed date; Court: Cir[cuit] Manitowoc Co., Manitowoc, Wis., matching Manitowoc County, Wisconsin; Born Jun. 28, 1893, consistent with the 1893 birth year; Country of birth or allegiance: Austria, consistent with Czech lands under Austria-Hungary in 1893; Address: N. 20 St., Manitowoc, Wis.
Limits: This is an INS Soundex index card (Form I-IP), not the naturalization petition or certificate itself; Middle name 'Pavel' does not appear; the card gives only 'Peter'; No place of birth beyond 'Austria', so the card cannot confirm a Czech or Moravian origin; No death information, so it cannot speak to the 1936 death date; The back of the card (additional court information) is blank
