Abstract: Abstract Transnational care is a fundamental dimension of both male and female migratory paths in the past as nowadays but in ways that are specific to the historical socio-economic context of the sending areas. This study will reconstruct this gendered configuration of migration patterns at work in two different migration chains linking the Mediterranean Apennine Mountains, the Paris suburbs, and South Wales from the second half of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth century. Then it will deal with migrant family biographies by following the whole trajectory of some of their members in the places of origin and of arrival, and finally it will show what can be deduced in terms of care relationships and the family as a resource in migration from these individual and collective paths.
