U.S., City Directories, 1822-1995

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The 1928 Manitowoc directory page 190 lists Konecny Peter J (Anna), welder, Manitowoc Ship Bldg Corp, h1031 N 18th. This supports a 1928 Manitowoc residence and the welder occupation. The citation detail says 1926, which conflicts with the image (1928), and the middle initial J is unexplained, so identification is probable but not certain.
Matches: Entry reads "Konecny Peter J (Anna) welder Manitowoc Ship Bldg Corp h1031 N 18th"; Peter = Petr; Konecny = Konečný; occupation welder matches the claim; Directory is Manitowoc, Wisconsin, 1928, matching the claim's place and year; Wife's name Anna is given, and an adjacent entry for Jos (Agnes) at the same address 1031 N 18th suggests a household of related Konecnys
Flags: Citation detail says 1926 directory but the image is the 1928 Wright Directory (Manitowoc City Directory 1928); the citation detail needs correcting; Middle initial J in the directory versus Pavel (P) in the claim
Limits: Directory does not give birth or death dates, so identification with the 1893–1936 Petr Pavel rests on name, occupation and place only; Wife Anna is not checked against the database here; Middle initial J does not match Pavel; could be a directory variant or a different Peter Konecny; Directory shows residence at 1031 N 18th, but the claim lists only the city
