The Family Networks and Geographic Mobility of French Canadian Immigrants in Early-Twentieth-Century Lowell, Massachusetts

The Family Networks and Geographic Mobility of French Canadian Immigrants in Early-Twentieth-Century Lowell, Massachusetts

From the author: "This study analyzes complex patterns of French Canadian immigrants’ geographic mobility in their process of immigration to Lowell, Massachusetts, from 1900 to 1920. There has been relatively little systematic analysis of roles of family and kin in the process of migration.... This article addresses this gap and sheds light on a more complex and gender-specific perspective of French Canadian immigrants’ southward movements by examining several issues of the migratory process including the geographic itineraries, occupational experiences, and migratory networks of French Canadian immigrants."
