ABSTRACT
The maintenance of rural immigrant communities in the American Middle West depended upon the transmission of landed wealth within the family. An examination of land transfer practices in seven Swedish communities in Minnesota shows that there was variation in behavior between communities. These differences are related to the social and institutional character of the settlements and to land transfer patterns in migration-linked districts in Sweden.
