The roster assigns the administrative classification “Enemy Alien Interned” and lists Cincinnati, Ohio as the person’s earlier address. It documents actual wartime administrative custody, not a criminal conviction. Initial arrest, admission, final release and completed detention duration remain unverified.
The individually named entry appears on roster sheet 3, row 10, with historical serial stem 9-34-G-17. The table labels Camp McCoy as the place of detention and marks the internment category “Permanently.” That word is an administrative classification in this dated roster, not a measured term or proof of lifelong detention. Its “transferred from” column names Cincinnati; no transfer day is printed.
May 1, 1942 is the roster’s observation date. It is not entered as a first arrest or admission date. The roster’s civilian-internment classification does not establish guilt, a particular political affiliation, ethnicity, citizenship, birth date or gender. No current imprisonment is inferred from this historical document.

The official camp correspondence expands the recorded name to Adam Edward Geier. The canonical display name is retained; the supported middle name is recorded separately. The March 4 personnel-record list and March 7 report document confinement at Camp McCoy earlier than the May 1 roster observation. The March 7 report is a custody observation, not an intake day.
