Geographers see this in both assisted and unassisted movements. I have one man who was followed a year later by his brother and parents.Many of our modern families move the same way. In fact the Australian migration schemes depend on those patterns to ease the culture shock of new arrivals. In fact the presence of family or fellow country communities dramaticly enhances success of the individual. Hats off to our convict ancestors who figured out how to make the system work for them!
