I am a Soffa and my Soffa relatives lived in Wisconsin. My father, Jon Soffa started researching the Soffa lineage when he was in college (about 30 years ago) and has collected some information that I have been trying to use. He has information about Amen Soffa and Nazira. There was a booklet written by a Dahl that tells the story and genealogy of Amen, his brother and his sister and how they immigrated to America. Their parents were Fouteen and Michael Soffa (from Syria). I still have holes in my family tree and I can't figure out the gaps. You are welcome to take a look at the work I have done on my Soffa family tree and see if any names sound familiar.
