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 page for Chicago, with Alois Tauber (line 68) as a 27-year-old son in Elizabeth Tauber's household, born in Illinois. Age 27 on 11 April 1940 fits a birth on 31 May 1912 (the birthday had not yet come that year). The exact date, the city of birth and the middle name are not stated, so the record is consistent with the claim but does not prove it.
Matches: Line 68: Alois Tauber, son of head Elizabeth Tauber (line 65, widowed, age 53), age 27 — implies birth about 1912/1913; Birthplace Illinois, consistent with Chicago; Household is in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, Ward 15, matching the citation (ED 103-1020, sheet 8B); Supplementary line 68 lists Alois Tauber's parents as born in Illinois, and his occupation as pressman in the printing industry
Limits: A census gives an age, not a birth date, so 31 May 1912 cannot be confirmed; The birthplace is recorded only as Illinois, not Chicago specifically; The 1940 census was taken in April, before a 31 May birthday, so a man born in 1912 would be 27, which matches the age on the record; The middle name Joseph is not shown; the record gives only Alois; The handwriting is small and the surname reads as Tauber/Tohber, so the identification as this Alois depends on the other details; The record does not name the person's relation to anyone else in the database
