Although the gravestone shows 1888 as the year of birth, Alfred Seip was born on March 21, 1885 (according to the 1901 and 1911 Canada censuses).In the Canada censuses of 1891 and 1901, Alfred is listed as a son of John and Elizabeth Seip. However, in a marriage record, Alfred's parents are given as Henry Doelle and Mary Seip. It seems that Alfred was Mary's child (born before her marriage in 1886) but raised by his grandparents (Mary's parents), John Seip and Elizabeth Wahl Seip.

Alfred married Rosa/Rosina Knipfel on April 10, 1912, at Petersburg, Wilmot Township, Ontario. Rosa, born February 16, 1892, was a daughter of August Knipfel and Matilda Becker.

In addition to a stillborn son born on March 27, 1913, Alfred and Rosa had three sons:
- Russel "Rusty" (1917-1992)
- William "Bill" (1919-1969)
- John Donald "Jack" (1922-2000)
