My name is Sharon R. Becker and my assistant county coordinator is Norma G. (Foland) Becker, my mother.
My mother's grandparents were Fred B. and Luella (Young) Bramon who farmed northeast of Delphos in Ringgold County. Their oldest daughter was Pearle V. Bramon who married Homer L. Foland of Grand River in Decatur County and became my mother's parents. Norma was born on the Homer Foland farm northeast of Grand River, originally the Samuel and Sarah Belle (Emley) Foland farm. Sam and Sarah were Homer's parents.
Norma has been involved with the family genealogy going back to pre-computer days when she visited courthouses and cemeteries to obtain nuggets of information. Her quest has taken her to every courthouse in the State of Iowa, a remarkable feat I think.
