- The family emigrated from Denmark on 22 February 1905 aboard the SS Oscar II, arriving at Ellis Island on 7 March. Alfred's sponsor was Uncle Jens Sorensen, husband of his father's sister, Cecilia. Jens also purchased tickets for the whole family with the understanding that Alfred would pay him back a little at a time after they settled in America. Once cleared through Ellis Island, the family headed to Carney, Michigan where Jens and Cecilia lived.
