Hello all, I am trying to narrow down my great grandfather's place of birth. His Parents were married in Biddeford, Maine in 1869. I would appreciate a 1870 census lookup for Biddeford Maine for ISRAEL LAVIGNE his wife Vitaline and son Joseph R. I have a baptism record that states Joseph was born and baptised in Canada. But I also have his children's birth certificates that state he was born in Maine. Please can someone do the lookup if it is available? Thank you for your time Pat
