I am trying to find information about my grandparents and great grandparents. My grandfather, Wesley Schwartz, and grandmother Myrtle Totten were born in Shenendoah, Page Co. Iowa. 1875. Wesley's parents were John Schwartz and mother's last name was Nancy. Don't know her given name. I would appreciate any information about the above people. I am at a stand still for information. The vital records of the State don't have the birth records or marriage records for anything until 1880. Can anyone out there help me find information.

I am trying to find out information about my Grandfather, Wesley E. Schwartz, born in Shenandoah, Page Cty, IA Nov 8, 1875. According to a death certificate his parents were John Schwartz, and Maiden Name of Mother was 'Nancy". I'm not clear if that was meant to be her first or last name.
Wesley married Myrtle Totten, also of Shenandoah, Page County, Iowa. I have not found a record of their marriage, but do have information of her family.
If you can help me find anything on Wesley E. Schwartz, John Schwartz and wife I would really appreciate it.
