Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 4/4, tier record.
The image is of the original 1950 census sheet, ED 103-1548, Chicago, Cook, Illinois. Dwelling 226 lists Alois J. Tauber (head, 37, married), Irene E. (wife, 35) and Ronald A. (son, 12), which matches the claim's household exactly. The age fits a 1912 birth, and the claim that he resided in Chicago in 1950 is directly supported.
Matches: Line 24 reads "Tauber, Alois J.", Head, W, M, age 37, Married, born Illinois; Wife Irene E., age 35, born Illinois, on the next line; Son Ronald A., age 12, born Illinois, on the following line; Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, ED 103-1548, 1950 census, matching the citation detail; Age 37 in April 1950 implies a birth year of about 1912 or 1913, consistent with 1912; Occupation of offset pressman at a printing company, which is plausible for the household
Limits: The census gives an age, not a birth date, so it cannot confirm the 1912 birth year exactly; The census does not identify him as the specific Alois Joseph Tauber (1912–1982) beyond the name, initial, age and household; The street address is not legible on this image, so the exact residence cannot be confirmed; Handwriting is somewhat hard to read, though the key entries are legible
