Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The image is the original 1920 census sheet for Manitowoc Town, ED 110, sheet 6A. Line 50 shows Frank Konecny, aged 24, born in Bohemia, who immigrated in 1912, and the age fits an 1895 birth. The record does not give the exact date or the village of birth, so it is consistent with the claim but does not prove it.
Matches: Last entry on sheet 6A (line 50) appears to read 'Konecny, Frank', head of household, a male born in Bohemia with a Bohemian mother tongue; Age 24 at the January 1920 enumeration implies birth in 1895 (between Jan 1895 and Jan 1896), which fits 20 August 1895; Immigration year 1912 with a petition for naturalization (PA) fits a Czech-born immigrant; Parents are also recorded as born in Bohemia with a Bohemian mother tongue
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 20 August 1895 cannot be confirmed; The census records only 'Bohemia' as birthplace, with no village, parish or Moravia. It cannot confirm Svatý Štěpán or Bylnice; 'Bohemia' may be used loosely for the Czech lands, so it is not a clear conflict with Moravia; The surname on the last line is slightly hard to read, and the entry is at the bottom edge of the sheet; Nothing in this record ties this Frank Konecny to the specific individual in the database, such as spouse or household members (the household continues on the next sheet)
What it supports
- Born · 20 August 1895 · Svatý Štěpán (osada of Bylnice), parish Brumov na Vláře, Moravia — František Konecny
