Filipino transnational families often hold the histories of stepwise migration carried out by earlier generations. In this article, I argue that considering the transnational family as the unit of analysis for studying stepwise migration can help us understand onward migratory trajectories in two important ways. First, stepwise migratory choices are affected by how past generations within the transnational family have fared in particular locations. Second, transnational families' transmission of stepwise strategies among migrant and nonmigrant family at different points in the migration process offer opportunities for an alternative geographic analysis of care exchange in global households. A 5-year multisited, longitudinal ethnography between New York City and Metro Manila using family histories of migrant and nonmigrant family members in Filipino transnational families calls attention to the transnational family unit as a repository of information that stepwise migrants use reimagining the sociospatial arrangement of care.
