The surname NIVARD in french was replaced for the spanish surname of NIVAL O NIVAR in the Dominican Republic. Example of this can be found in the baptism records of the Catholic Church for the city of San Cristobal, Dominican Republic (dated 1784-1921). El apellido francés NIVARD fué españolizado a NIVAL o NIVAR en la República Dominicana. Ejemplo de esto se nota en las partidas de bautismos de la Iglesia Católica de la ciudad de San Cristóbal, República Dominicana (fechados 1784-1921).
