Title
Migration Fields of French Canadian Immigrants to Southern Maine
Description
Article on the migrations of French Canadians in Central and Southern Maine to their precise places of departure in Québec. Includes maps that illustrate migration fields and indicate concentrations of Maine Franco Americans.
From the author: "Birthplaces of French Canadian immigrants to six Maine cities during the period 1890-1925 were mapped from information in biographical summaries and naturalization documents....This study suggests that migration fields tend to persist through time, sometimes despite transportation changes, that the areal extent of fields is related to the size and rapidity of immigration rather than to the age of fields, and that fields are probably best identified by county rather than by community units."
