Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): supports, confidence 3/4, tier record.
The image of the original 1917 draft registration card is readable and shows Tony Tauber, born 6 Aug 1887 in Mostce, Bohemia, living in Collinsville, Madison County, Illinois. This supports the use of 'Tony Tauber' as a name form for a man born in 1887 in Bohemia. Identification as Antonín specifically relies on the matching birth year and origin, so it is strong but not fully explicit.
Matches: Registration card names "Tony Tauber", the alias claimed (AKA Tony Tauber); Born August 6, 1887 in Mostce (Mostice/Most), Bohemia, consistent with Antonín Tauber b. 1887; Age 29 on June 5, 1917 fits a birth in 1887; Residence 313 Strong Ave, Collinsville, Madison County, Illinois matches citation detail 'Collinsville, 1917'; Naturalized, miner, married with wife and five children, all plausible for a Bohemian immigrant
Limits: The card does not give the form 'Antonín'; the link between Tony and Antonín rests on the Bohemian birthplace and birth year; Does not name parents or spouse, so identity with the database person depends on other evidence; Birthplace 'Mostce' is handwritten and slightly hard to read; its match to the family's known place is not verified here; Death year 1939 is not addressed
