There's a detailed Danish emigration registry. Quite likely people in
dk.historie.genealogi (to which this is crossposted with followups
set) will be able to help you out with the practicalities.

"Autzen" is very uncommon as a Danish name. Not unlikely, his original
name was something like Outzen (maybe Jens Frederik O.) and it got
changed by US immigration authorities. Even so, it is not typically
Danish, possibly of German origin (just as well, makes him easier to find).
