Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1940 census, Milwaukee Ward 2, ED 72-30, sheet 15A. Line 2 lists Joseph Konecny as head, married, age 39, born Bohemia, working as a welder. This matches the residence claim on place, year, relation, marital status and occupation. The age fits a birth in about 1901.
Matches: Household at line 2 headed by Joseph Konecny (written "Konecny, Joseph"), relation "head", rented (R); Occupation reads "Welder", matching the claim; Marital status "m" (married); wife Agnes, 36, born Bohemia; Place is Milwaukee, Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, Ward 2, ED 72-30, sheet 15A, matching the citation detail; Age 39 gives a birth year of about 1900–1901, consistent with 1901; Census date April 1940 matches the claimed year
Limits: Census gives age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm the 1901 birth or the 1985 death; Does not independently show that this Joseph is the same person as the one in the database tree beyond name and age; Street address is only partly legible (house number about 1424)
