Validator (claude-opus-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier index.
The card is for Mary Hejnal of 1220 W. Reservoir Ave., Milwaukee, born Oct. 16, 1903, of Czechoslovakia, naturalized Feb. 15, 1940 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. The exact birth-date match and Czechoslovak origin agree with the claim. However, the surname Hejnal differs from Konecny, and the card gives no maiden name or birthplace. The full naturalization petition and declaration (cert. P 36582 / CN-4803725) would likely give the birthplace, maiden name and spouse, and should be obtained to confirm that this is the same woman.
Matches: Given name Mary matches; Birth date on card 'Oct. 16-1903' matches the claimed date of 16 October 1903 exactly; Country of birth or allegiance 'Czechoslovakia' fits a Moravian birthplace, since Moravia became part of Czechoslovakia in 1918; Birth year 1903 matches the claimed lifespan 1903–1989
Flags: Surname on the card is 'Hejnal', not Konecny. This may be a married name, but nothing on the card links Mary Hejnal to the Konecny family.
Limits: Soundex index card for a naturalization (Milwaukee Co. Circuit Court, naturalized 15 Feb 1940, cert. CN-4803725), not the petition itself; No town, parish or district of birth given; Svatý Štěpán / Bylnice / Brumov is neither confirmed nor contradicted; No parents, spouse or maiden name to tie Hejnal to Konecny; Date and port of arrival and witnesses are blank
