Validator (claude-sonnet-5-5, 2026-10-28): consistent, confidence 2/4, tier index.
The citation identifies an obituary for Edward G. Konecny dated 19 Oct 1997 in a Manitowoc paper, which fits the person's death year. No obituary text or image is provided, so the 7 May 1942 marriage to Gertrude Irene Karl at Manitowoc cannot be checked. It is consistent with the person but does not state the claim.
Matches: Obituary of Edward G. Konecny, 19 Oct 1997, matches the name and death year (1997) of the claimed husband; Published in the Manitowoc newspaper, fitting the Manitowoc location of the claim
Limits: No image or transcription of the obituary text is available, so the marriage details cannot be read; Cannot confirm the marriage date of 7 May 1942, the place, or the spouse's name Gertrude Irene Karl; Obituaries often give marriage date and place, but the content of this one is not shown; Citation detail gives only the obituary title and date, so no claim-specific information can be checked
