Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): partial, confidence 2/4, tier record.
The card is for Mary Hejnal of 1220 W. Reservoir Ave., Milwaukee, Wis. She was born Oct. 16, 1903, in Czechoslovakia and naturalized Feb. 15, 1940, in the Circuit Court, Milwaukee Co. (certificate P 36582 / CN-4803725). The given name and birth year fit the claim, but the surname is Hejnal, not Konecny. The card can support the name Konecny only if other evidence, such as a marriage record, shows that Mary Hejnal and Mary Konecny are the same person. The full petition file for certificate 4803725 may name her spouse or her maiden name.
Matches: Given name 'Mary' matches; Born Oct. 16, 1903, which fits the claimed birth year 1903; Country of birth or allegiance is Czechoslovakia, consistent with the Czech surname Konecny
Flags: The family name on the card is 'Hejnal', not Konecny. Nothing on the card links her to the Konecny surname.; Hejnal could be a married name or a maiden name for the same woman, but the record does not say so. Other evidence would be needed to identify this Mary Hejnal with Mary Konecny.
Limits: This is a naturalization index card (Form I-1P), not the full petition or certificate; No parents, spouse or birthplace below country level are given; Says nothing about the 1989 death date; Witness and arrival fields are blank, and the reverse 'additional information' side is empty
