Nels was the son of Frederik Mortenson and Else Marie Knudsdatter, each of them were born and died in Denmark.

Nels and Emelia were the parents of 14 sons and 4 daughters. One son died in infancy and another, Jens, at the age of 13. In 1927 the remaining 12 sons formed a baseball team that spent the next three summers playing baseball on a circuit that was active within 30 miles of their home. The team included 9 players, a first and third base coach as well as a bat boy. They played almost exclusively on Sunday's when they were largely free from farm chores.

Nels and Emelia were devout Lutherans and believed playing baseball on Sunday was a sin. They never attended a game.
