My name is Sharon R. Becker and I'm Cerro Gordo County's coordinator.
I enjoy photography and enjoy visiting Cerro Gordo County.
As you can tell from the photo below, I was so taken by Clear Lake
that I didn't realize I was getting into the photograph, too.

Please enjoy your visit and come back as often as you can.
If you have items to submit or wish to contact me, please do so at:
Sharon R. Becker
Be sure to note Cerro Gordo County in the subject line. Thank you!!

NOTE: I am not able to conduct personal genealogical research, unfortunately
but will try to answer any questions.

Many families crossed county borders several times before settling in one county.Often the closest Court House was across the county line instead of traveling to Mason City.
