Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1940 census, Manitowoc Ward 6, sheet 7A, ED 36-26. Line 7 lists Frank Konecny as Head, age 44, married, born in Czechoslovakia, working as a welder in the shipyards, with wife Lillian and sons Edward, John and Louis. This matches the residence, occupation, marital status and relationship in the claim. Age 44 fits a birth around 1895.
Matches: Line 7 shows Konecny (Konceny), Frank, Head, in household 141 on Rankin St, Manitowoc, Ward 6, Manitowoc County, Wisconsin; Occupation is Welder in the Shipyards, matching the claimed occupation; Marital status is M (married) and relation is Head, matching the note; Born in Czechoslovakia, consistent with a Czech-born František; Age 44 gives a birth year of about 1895–96, consistent with 1895; Page 7A and ED 36-26 match the citation detail
Limits: The census gives age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm 1895 exactly; The record does not show the death year (1976), so it cannot confirm the identity beyond name, age, and birthplace; The surname is handwritten and slightly hard to read, but it fits Konecny; The given name appears as Frank, the English form of František
