The image of the original 1942 draft card is readable and shows Frank Konecny, born August 20, 1895 in Czechoslovakia, living in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Frank is the normal English form of František and Konecny of Konečný, so the name claim is supported. Linking this man to the database person depends on the birth year and Czech origin, but nothing on the card conflicts with that.
Matches: Registrant's name is printed and signed as Frank Konecny, the English form of František Konečný; Date of birth is August 20, 1895, which fits the 1895 birth year in the claim; Place of birth is Czechoslovakia, Europe, which fits a Czech-born man; Age 46 on the 1942 card matches a 1895 birth; Lives in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, with wife Mrs. Lillian Konecny as contact
Limits: The card shows the name only in the anglicized form Frank, without diacritics, and does not show František; It gives no birthplace town, so it cannot confirm that this Frank is the František in the database; It says nothing about the 1976 death date; Identification rests on name, birth date and country of birth, since no parents are named
