Association Perche-Amérique
This site chronicles the Rivard family from 1571 in Perche, France through 300 years in North America. Brothers Nicolas Rivard dit LaVigne and Robert Rivard dit Loranger were among the early colonists who left Tourouvre, Perche in 1648-1660 for New France, establishing settlements in Batiscan and Trois-Rivieres.
Over the years, other "dit" names were also used with the Rivard surname, including Bellefeuille, Despres, Dufresne, Feuilleverte, Gervais, Giasson, LaCoursiere, LaGlanderie, Lanouette, Lavigne, Maisonville, and Preville.
