emmigration - Syverinne Dokkesveen born about 1841

[dn24779]

I'm looking for the emmigration information for the following person, but having great difficulty finding it.

Here are my known clues:

- name referenced as Syverinne Dokkesveen in Iowa book (recent)
- 1910 Iowa census denotes first name as Severine
- census says immigrated about 1882
- census says age was 69, so born in 1841 in Norway
- married to Hans Andreas Olsen (Halsrud) - Hans emmigrated 1873.


Also, does the name Dokkesveen denote something about being from Dokka?


Thanks, Joe Holman (Halsrud clan)[/list]
