Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 1/4, tier record.
The page shown is the 1920 directory, not the 1915 edition cited. It lists Konecny households at 919 Park, including "Veronia (wid Jno)", which implies a deceased John Konecny. It does not name a living Jan/John Konecny or give his birth year, so it only weakly supports the name claim. The 1915 page should be checked for a Jno Konecny entry.
Matches: The Konecny surname is present at 919 Park, Manitowoc: Jos, Mary, Peter (Anna) and Veronia (wid Jno).; "Veronia (wid Jno)" implies a John Konecny who died before 1920, so the household may include his widow and children.
Flags: The attached image is the 1920 Wright's Manitowoc County Directory (pp. 244-245), but the citation says 1915.; No living Jno/John Konecny is listed on these pages, so the directory does not show the claimed person himself.
Limits: A city directory gives no birth year, so it cannot confirm 1867.; It is an occupation and address listing and does not prove the identity of Jan/John Konecny.; The 1915 directory page cited is not shown, so I could not check whether Jno Konecny appears in that edition.; The link between the widow's late husband Jno and this Jan Konecny is an inference, not stated in the record.
