title: Population processes allowing emigration of families.
abstract: "In the familiar immigration-birth-death process the events of immigration, birth and death relate to the individual.  There are processes in which the whole family and not just an individual migrates.  Such population growth models are studied in some detail."  Both human and animal populations are considered.
