I'm researching my family ancestry and want to know what resources are available to locate information about my maternal grandparents:

Leo F. Schwope and Louella M. Schwope, born in the Troy/Wathena area in about 1890.

If you know how I might access birth or death records or newspaper archives, please reply:
