1940 United States Federal Census

Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image shows the 1940 census, sheet 8B, Chicago Ward 15, and the Tauber household at 1630. Line 68 reads Alois, son, age 27, and the supplementary question section at the bottom names him "Tauber, Alois". This supports the first name and surname. The middle name Joseph and the 1912–1982 dates are not shown here, though age 27 is consistent with a birth in 1912 or 1913.
Matches: Line 68 shows "Alois" in the household headed by Elizabeth Tauber (line 65), age 53, widowed, born Illinois, at 1630; Supplementary line 68 at the bottom gives the name as "Tauber, Alois", with parents born in Illinois; Alois is listed as son, age 27, giving a birth year of about 1912 (1940 minus 27 = 1913 or 1912, within one year of the claim); The place is Chicago, Cook, Illinois, ED 103-1020, sheet 8B, matching the citation detail; His occupation is pressman in the printing industry
Limits: The census gives the first name Alois and the surname Tauber, but no middle name, so "Joseph" is not confirmed; The census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot establish 1912 exactly; It says nothing about his death in 1982; The handwriting is faint in places, so the surname spelling (Tauber vs Taubr) was read from the supplementary line and the head's entry
