In reply 4 - the New York Passenger List the family arrived on gave Ofelt's birth as Jekinark"
Looking at the entry it seems to say the same for Jens Peter Pederson - also gives manifest markings to indicate the Jens and Johann were naturalized in the US in 1936/1939. Ofelt in 1926. Herluf in 1936. Emma in 1934. Erma in 1940. Erik in 1934 and Helga in 1940.
Think it also names his father in the very right hand column - looks like Jens as well
