Please more information. Hans Olson can be a common name.
What is your ancestors birthdate or birthyear? Did he come to the United States? |

Not only is Hans Olson a very common name, there are several Hans Dokka living in America.
There is a Hans Dokka born about 1851 living in Hamlin County South Dakota. But is referred to as Hans Halvorsen Dokk
Also a Hans Henry Grymyr Dokka Windom born about 1856 lived in Rolette County, North Dakota, and uses the name Hans Windom in most records
A just plain Hans Dokka born about 1865 also living in Walsh County , North Dakota. A single man aged 55 in the 1920 Census

Thank you everyone! Could you help me going in the past, I would love to see if anyone could help me find ( i have no clue) how they came over. It did say that they brought over part of their house I believe.
I am still new to finding all of this out. I am putting a book together for my kids so they have something to look back on one day. I really appreciate all the help! |

Dokka may be a town since it appears to have a "zipcode". If all goes well this pointer marks sore Kolbjornshus today not sure if it is exact to where your Hans Olsen was from:
