I am in the early stages of my search for my mother's father's family. Her name is Norma Gayle Farnham. She was born to Mary Meadows and Gayle Farrington Farnham. Gayle was born in Iowa, but was soon relocated to Faith, South Dakota, where he was raised for his entire life. His father is Francis Farrington Farnham. I'm trying to search further on Francis' side. The only by mouth information I have is that he came up from Iowa for free land in South Dakota. He had a homestead (that is still there) where he raised beef and shetland ponies of all things! If anyone has any information on the Farnham's from South Dakota, please feel free to drop me a line...I would be eternally grateful.
