And I do likewise Swear that all matters whatsoever in the said Report or Manifest are, to the best of my knowledge and belief, just and true. Sworn before me, this Sixth day of September 1832 (John K???? surname of collector illegible) Collector. Signed D Schumacher.
Report of Manifest of all the Passengers taken on board the Adler whereof D Schumacher is Master, from Bremen burthen 35 ? Tons and owned by Herm. Hagedorn & Son of Bremen and bound to Philadelphia.
Columns represent passengers' names, age, sex, occupation. (All passengers were listed as from Germany and listed the U.S. as their intended destination and habitation, and there were no births or deaths on the voyage, so these columns have been omitted in this listing). Researchers will also notice that the occupation of the head of household, or first person named in a family group, is assigned to all names regardless of gender or age.

Wollf 23 man merchant Transcriber's Notes: * An asterisk indicates a possible error or a footnoted entry. Question marks indicate letters difficult to read. * The captain's name is first spelled as D. Schumaker in the sworn statement, but when he signs it, it is Schumacher. * The sworn statement was probably written by someone other than the captain. * The scribe for this manifest does not list the first (given) names of people that seem to be family groups travelling together. * He just lists the first person's name or initials--probably the head of the household. * He also lists an occupation regardless of the age, or sex as will be seen throughout the list. * # 9: age is given as 27, but child is entered after that. * #12 Surname may be Linnemann, last three letters are smudged by an ink blot or a tear in the original copy. * #23 Mar. v.d. = perhaps Margareta or Marie/ v.d. = von der Heyde. * #25 Surname difficult to decipher: Could be Areslage, Anslage, Auslage. * #30 age of passenger is written over, could be either 21 or 27. * #41 surname may be Leutig, Lentig, or Lustig, second & third letters difficult to decipher. They are all above the line. * #42 abbreviated given name is probably for Hieronymus (German for Jerome). * #43 surname could be Hemmiger * #47 second initial is smudged, difficult to decipher. * #49 gender is given as "woman" then crossed out and child written above it. * #60 surname could be Warneken. * #61 first letter of surname covered by an ink blot but seems to be a "W." * #62 surname Muhle has an umlaut over the "u." Given name probably Ludwig. * #64 surname could be Baukammer. * #70-71 occupation given as mechanic, yet gender listed as woman--perhaps a mistake here. * #74 surname difficult to decipher--could be Schimmel, or Schemmel. * #83 first letter of surname not clear--could be "K" "B" or "R." Thus either Kaller, Baller, or Raller. Given name is probably Heinrich. * #84 given name is probably Friedrich. * #112 Initials difficult to decipher due to condition of original. * #114 age of passenger difficult to read could be 18. * #121-124 surname has an umlaut over the "a." * #125 surname difficult to determine because over-writing/correction to it. * #126 surname could be Ruckmann with an umlaut over the "u." * #133 surname could be Victor * #134 Age is 49, 47, or 41. * #138 the only entry without an occupation listed. Various abbreviations are used in this list for given names. Following are likely Germanic solutions to the abbreviations (and some American equivalents): Herm. = Hermann (Herman) Mar. = Margaretha (Margaret) Doroth. = Dorothea (Dorothy) Hieron. = Hieronymus (Jerome) Joh. = Johann (John) Johs = Johannes Chr. = Christian Ludw. = Ludwig (Louis) Diedr. = Diedrich Math. = Matheus (Matthew) Sebast. = Sebastian Heinr. = Heinrich (Henry) Fr. = Friedrich (Fredrick) Wm. = Wilhelm (William) Cath. = Catherine Aug. = Augustus/August
