Dorothy (Allard) was actually born Dorothy Allord. The last name of Alvin Allard was changed on each of their birth certificates due to some legal thing at the time one of the children were born. This is based on information provided me by my father, Robert Joseph Allord who was Dorothy Allord's younger brother.

I can clearly tell we have a connection here...

Alvin Allard's father was Mose's Allard who was the son of Joseph J. Allard. Confusion comes in two Joseph Allard's living in Bay Settlement, Wisconsin. To compound this confusion, both Joseph J. Allard and the other Joseph Allard purchased 80 acres of land together.

Through information from a cousin who has even more information, it was last looking like both of these Joseph's could be releated.
