1920 the percentage of individuals not born in Italy exceeds for the first time that of the people born in Italy suggesting that the flux of newcomers has remarkably decreased. In 1930 the community is considerably smaller than 1920, and the decreasing trend for individuals born in Italy continues. They now represent just 35% of the community. 0% 3% 16% 0.6% 0.3% 41% 81% 58% 7% 4% 54% 35% 1930 1880 1900 1910 Born in Italy At least one Italian parent 1% 0% 31% At least one Italian grandparent Other nationalities Figure VIII.

It would have been interesting to determine the number of newcomers for each year examined, but it has not been possible because of a major problem in interpreting the data. The date of arrival in the US indicated in the censuses for each immigrant should refer to the very first time the immigrant reached the United States. In many cases, however, because many Italians were travelling back and forth between Italy and the United States, it refers to the latest time the immigrant returned to the United States. 33 In interpreting these data we have to consider that censuses ‘describe’ the population only every ten years. Nothing emerges of what is going on during the years in between. For example, considering just the data from the census one would say that the Italian community in Houghton County reached its peak in 1910. In fact, according to Attilio Castigliano it reached it in 1906-1907, and after these years the number of Italian decreased considerably. 34 Table VIII. Comparison of the Provenience of Italian Immigrants in 1870, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 (Only the region with more immigrants are shown). Piemonte Toscana Lombardia Veneto Total Italians 1870 9 (43%) 5 (24%) 0 0 21 1880 96 (44%) 60 (27%) 0 3 (1%) 220 1900 1,493 (53.54%) 440 (15.8%) 67 (2.41%) 62 (2.22%) 2,789 1910 2,207 (50.35%) 1,302 (23.55%) 134 (3.1%) 86 (1.96%) 4,384 1920 1,906 (43.52%) 1,287 (29.4%) 97 (2.22%) 81 (1.85%) 4,379 1930 1,249 (43.99%) 696 (24.52%) 86 (3%) 72 (2.54%) 2,839 The data from the employment cards of Calumet and Hecla also suggest big fluxes of Italian immigrants in between the years of the censuses. Many of these cards, in fact, include 33 These data emerged when comparing the information of a single immigrant in the different years. Often the date of arrival indicated in 1900 did not correspond to that indicated in 1910, or to that in 1920. A subsequent look at the ships’ manifest confirmed that in many cases the immigrant indicated each time the date of his latest return to the US. 34 Castigliano, Attilio. “Origine, sviluppo, importanza ed avvenire delle colonie italiane del Nord Michigan e del Nord Minnesota”.
