Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier index.
The card (K 525, certificate P-855) states that Peter Konecny, born Jun. 28, 1893 in Austria, lived at N. 20 St., Manitowoc, Wis., and was naturalized there on Jun. 6, 1922. That states the Wisconsin residence directly, and the name and birth year agree with Petr Pavel Konečný (1893–1936). Because it is an index card without the middle name or family details, it places him in Wisconsin around 1922 but cannot confirm other residence dates. The full petition would give fuller identifying detail.
Matches: Family name 'Konecny' is the unaccented form of Konečný; Given name 'Peter' is the English form of Petr; Birth date Jun. 28, 1893 fits the claimed birth year 1893; Country of birth or allegiance 'Austria' fits a Czech-born man of 1893, when the Czech lands were part of Austria-Hungary; Address given as N. 20 St., Manitowoc, Wis., which is a residence in Wisconsin; Naturalized Jun. 6, 1922 in the Circuit Court, Manitowoc Co., Manitowoc, Wis., which also places him in Wisconsin
Limits: This is an imaged Soundex index card, not the naturalization petition itself; The middle name Pavel does not appear; only 'Peter' is given; The card shows residence at about the time of naturalization (1922) only; the claim carries no date; The card gives no parents, spouse or birthplace below the country level, so identity rests on name and birth date
