Grandpa Schrempp immigrated from Germany to the United States in 1923. He sailed on the S. S. Mount Clay from Hambug Germany on 9 August 1923 arriving at Ellis Island on 20 August 1923. His final destination was Vineburg California (near Napa) the home of his uncle, Bernhard Schrempp. Bernard arrived in the US via Ellis Island on 13 April 1907.

Here is a link to the Ellis Island web. You can do a search by name of the ship Manifests. Here is a link directly to Joseph Schrempp and Bernard Schrempp.

Note: My scanner is not big enough to scan the birth certificate in one pass.
