    In this paper, we raise questions about the role of local and transnational networks — that is, networks made up of geographically dispersed family and friends and those developed in the course of migration — in providing support to immigrant families at three crucial moments in the life cycle: birth, illness and death. In many cases, families must face these events while cut off from the customary support of kinship and friendship and are forced to find new resources and strategies for coping with them. Through an analysis of the stories of Maghreb families living in Quebec, we examine the interface between transnational and local ties and their respective roles in the management of the targeted life cycle events.
