The origin of surnames of families Rivard


Nicolas Rivard dit Lavigne and his wife Catherine St. Father had ten children, seven boys. His brother Robert Rivard said Loranger and his wife Madeleine Guillet had twelve children, seven boys. In the next generation Nicolas had no less than ninety-five grandchildren and Robert was seventy-five descendants.

This concentration of the same name in the immediate area of Batiscan, prompted the brothers and cousins to take surnames in order to identify the branches of the family Rivard.


The son of Nicolas take the following names:

  • Nicolas (jr) Rivard
  • Laglanderie
  • François Julien Lacoursière
  • Pierre Lanouette
  • Jean Michel Rivard
  • Preville
  • Antoine Lavigne

The son of Robert chose the following names:

  • Claude Loranger
  • Mathurin Nicolas Feuilleverte
  • Francois Loranger
  • Montendre
  • Robert Rivard
  • Louis-Joseph Bellefeuille
  • Rene Alexis Loranger and Maisonville

analysis of known pedigrees of the descendants of some one hundred and fifty second-generation Rivard, covers much of North America and gives currently the following directory names:

Note: changing the spelling of some surnames appear as noted on official documents: birth certificates, marriage and other contracts. Recipients adopt and maintain most often this way of writing their name, often transformed by a verbal communication or anglicized Rivard.
