1940 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image shows Frank Konecny, head of household, age 44, born in Czechoslovakia and naturalized, in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. An age of 44 in April 1940 is consistent with an August 1895 birth, and the country of birth fits Moravia. The census cannot confirm the exact date or the hamlet, so it is consistent with the claim rather than proof of it.
Matches: Line 7 of the household at 1842 (Rankin St), Manitowoc, Ward 6: Konecny, Frank, Head, male, white, age 44; Age 44 in April 1940 fits a birth on 20 August 1895 (he would have turned 44 in August 1939); Birthplace is given as Czechoslovakia, which fits a birth in Moravia (Svatý Štěpán, Bylnice); Citizenship column reads 'Na' (naturalized), consistent with an immigrant; Frank is the Czech František in English form
Limits: A census gives only age and country of birth, so it cannot confirm the day, month or exact village; The census does not name the parish or the hamlet of Svatý Štěpán; Nothing on the page links this Frank Konecny to the 1895–1976 František except age and birthplace, so identity rests on other evidence; Handwriting is partly hard to read, though the name, age and birthplace are legible
