The studies about the migratory processes tend to concentrate on the analysis of the people who migrate to other places, being rare studies that focus on the family perspective that remain in their places of origin. The objective of this research is to analyze the migrations as an experience lived by the families of farmers who remain in the municipality of Itapuranga, State of Goiás. This municipality has a wide representation in family farming and, in recent decades, also was marked by intense migratory flows, especially international. This research is characterized by a case study, carried out in Itapuranga, being that the research techniques for the removal of field data were: bibliographic research, documentary research, observation and semi-structured interviews with the families of family farmers that had some relative or friend who migrated, and interviews with key informants. The reconstruction of migratory processes in family agriculture from Itapuranga indicates the existence of a rural migrant population, built gradually since the constitution of the municipality, through a succession of migratory flows that culminated in international migration. The migratory processes experienced by the family farmers in the decades from 1960 to 1980 are related to the distinct and heterogeneous forms of social, cultural and economic structuring of the Capitalism. The international migrations bring implications for the families that have remained in Itapuranga, being these ones evident in the reduction of family labor, in the worsening of diseases, in the family reorganization and in the migratory mourning, which ones will impact directly on the family dynamics and in the organization of the property. Many rural migrants return to Itapuranga and these returns also affect the development of family farming. With their migratory international luggage, the rural migrants returned change their relationships with the land and with the family and build new rural identities. The research concludes that, migratory processes developed in Itapuranga integrated historical struggles to reproduce socially means and ways of life of the family farmers.
