Title
Kinship and Migration to the Upper St. John Valley (Maine - New Brunswick)
Description
Article exploring the demographic shifts of the Upper St. John River Valley - Maine and New Brunswick - through the first fifty years of the Madwaska settlement, beginning in 1785. The author uses parish records and genealogical sources - what she calls the "cohort-life history method" - to build a portrait of the early in-migration of French Canadian and Acadian Madawaska communities, their habits, and their peopling. Individual, family, and community mobility and some thoughts on the explanations behind it.
