This experimental longitudinal analysis focuses on Acadian women originating in the civil parish of Dundas, part of the region of Kent in southeastern New Brunswick, and their movements throughout their lives in order to better understand mobility and migration during the period of industrialization. This reconstitution of the life course of four samples of Acadian women between 1871 and 1921 uses a variety of historical sources, including marriage records, baptismal registers, and Canadian and American censuses. The results confirm the importance of emigration trends to the United States, but also of local, regional, and interprovincial movements. The family social network proved to be of fundamental importance. In addition, a significant proportion of the women stayed put throughout their lives, and we also observed some return migration to Dundas communities. This preliminary analysis underscores the potential to use archives to analyze female mobility before marriage, as part of family migration, and after the passing of their spouses. In the end, a deeper consideration of the experiences of Acadian women adds considerable nuance to our understanding of migration patterns and the idea of rural exodus in Acadie of New Brunswick during this time.
