Transcription and reasoning
Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image is readable and shows Joseph Konecny, head of household, age 50, born Bohemia, with wife Agnes and sons Robert, Walter and Joseph at 1424 or nearby in Milwaukee. The name matches the claim. The dates cannot be checked beyond the age, which implies about 1899–1900 and is only slightly off the claimed 1901.
Matches: Line 21 of the 1950 census sheet lists "Konecny, Joseph" as Head, age 50, born Bohemia; Implied birth year about 1899–1900 is close to the claimed 1901 (within about one year); Wife Agnes (46, born Bohemia) and sons Robert, Walter and Joseph live in the household; Parents' birthplace is given as Bohemia, in keeping with a Czech-American family; Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and ED 73-54 match the citation detail
Limits: The claim concerns only the name, and the census confirms the name spelling "Joseph Konecny"; A census records age, not birth or death dates, so it cannot confirm the 1901 to 1985 lifespan; The record does not show that this Joseph is the specific person in the database; this rests on the name, age and birthplace; The age of 50 on April 1950 implies a birth around 1899–1900, which is a year off 1901 but within normal census error
