The image shows the 1920 census for Manitowoc Town, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, sheet 6A, ED 110. Line 50 lists Frank Konecny, head, married, age 24, born in Bohemia, a gas welder at the shipyard. These details match the residence claim for 1920, including occupation, marital status and relation to head. Identity with the claimed person rests on name, age and Bohemian origin, since no spouse or other household member is visible on this page.
Matches: Line 50 reads "Konecny, Frank", the English form of František Konečný; Relation to head is Head, and the household is on a Manitowoc County, Wisconsin sheet (Manitowoc Town, ED 110, sheet 6A); Age 24 in January 1920 implies a birth year of about 1895–96, which fits 1895; Marital status is marked M (married); Occupation reads "Gas welder", industry "Shipyard", which matches Gass Welder; Born in Bohemia, with Bohemian parents and mother tongue, and immigration year 1912 with status PA (papers filed). This fits a Czech-born man.
Limits: The entry is the last line of the sheet, so the wife and any children appear on the next page and cannot be checked here; The census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1895 exactly; The place is Manitowoc Town (township) in the image. The claim's "Manitowoc" is consistent but the record does not state the city.; The record cannot tie this man to the specific František Konecny (1895–1976) beyond name, age, birthplace and plausibility; The handwriting on the last line is slightly cramped, but the name, age and occupation are legible
