The image shows the 1940 census of Milwaukee, Ward 2, with Joseph Konecny, age 39, born Bohemia, heading household 312. His 1935 residence is entered as 'same place', which places him in Milwaukee on April 1, 1935, as claimed. Age 39 is consistent with a 1901 birth. Identity depends on the name and age, as no parents or other details are given.
Matches: Line 2, household 312: Joseph Konecny, head, male, white, age 39, born Bohemia. A birth year of about 1900–1901 fits Joseph (1901–1985).; Column 17 (residence April 1, 1935) reads 'same place' for Joseph. The household is in the city of Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, per the sheet header.; The header gives State Wisconsin, County Milwaukee, Incorporated place Milwaukee, Ward 2, ED 72-30, Sheet 15A. This matches the citation detail.
Limits: The 1935 residence is given only as 'same place', meaning the same address as in 1940. The street name is not clearly legible.; The census gives an age, not a birth date. The record cannot confirm the 1901–1985 dates or that this is the same Joseph as in the database.; The household has a wife Agnes, sons Robert and Walter, and a son Joseph aged 11. Linking this household to the database person relies on the name, the Bohemian birth and the age.
