The study is aimed at exploring the relationship between migration, religious affiliation and marriage patterns. Drawing on the examples of three religious groups in the USA, i.e. United Brethren (Moravians), Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) and Unification Church (Moonies) the paper seeks to answer the following questions: What were the consequences of religious migrations for family formation? How did marriage migration fit into religious patterns? What sanctioned options existed for adult migrant not in heterosexual relations? How did religious affiliation interact with national belonging? All groups fell outside the mainstream of religious practice of their day with Utopian visions that related at least somewhat to marriage patterns. All promoted family formation along religious lines and in so doing downplayed other categories of identity such as ethnicity or nationality.
