Adolph was the oldest son of Conrad and Sophia Friedrichsen Nielsen, born 20 Feb 1865 in Hollmühle, Schleswig-Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. The burial location for his parents is not known, but his grandparents, Hans Adolph and Anna Margaretha (Henningsen) Nielsen are buried in Saint Katherine's Lutheran Cemetery in Gelting, Germany.
In 1883, Adolph departed the Port of Hamburg on the ship "Herder" for New York; accompanied by his half-sister Fredericka Petersen. He is believed to have worked initially for an uncle (Pete Friedrichsen) near Bennington, Nebraska who may have paid for his passage. He and his younger brother Nicholas became U.S. citizens on the same day in 1890.
Adolph's brother John is also buried in Springfield Cemetery. Adolph's brother Andrew is buried in Oakdale Cemetery in Crookston, Minnesota. Adolph's sister Christina is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Omaha. Adolph's brother Nicolaus is buried in Evergreen Memorial Park in Omaha. Adolph's half-sister Fredericke (Petersen) Harder is buried in German Cemetery, Washington Co, Nebraska.
Emma Sander, born 1872, was the daughter of Heinrich and Margaretha (Husmann) Sander. Heinrich and his family immigrated to the U.S. from Germany, arriving in New York on 3 May 1875 on the ship "SS Main" from Bremen, Germany. They settled and farmed in southwest Wisconsin north of La Crosse. They and several of their children are buried in South Beaver Creek Cemetery located County Road D between Melrose and Ettrick, Wisconsin.
Emma and Adolph were married in Omaha on October 28, 1890. It is not clear how Adolph met his future wife, Emma Sander, though she likely had moved in with or perhaps had visited her sister Mary and husband Henry Stratman who had moved to Sarpy County, Nebraska from Wisconsin ca. 1885.
Adolph and Emma farmed initially near the 50th and Spring Street area in what today is the heart of Omaha. They moved to a farm southwest of Springfield in Sarpy County in 1896. After Adolph's death in 1921, Emma remained on the farm with her bachelor son Otto until 1944 when they moved into the town of Springfield.
