Hi Carole Ann...If you go to http://www.familysearch.org/ you will find your Joseph Rivard (age 22) in the 1880 census in Bourbonnais, Kankakee Co., Illinois in the household of Oliver Rivard along with siblings. Also found Mary (age 65) with 81 year old Ludger in Kankakee in 1930. She said she was 17 years old at time of first marriage which would be ca. 1882. If you could locate their marriage record it might provide the name of her parents. Good luck. Audrey Florentine
