migrated
Traveled to resettle
Migrated is the past tense of migrate, meaning to move from one place to another.
Birds migrate seasonally; people migrate for work or safety.
In computing, to migrate is to transfer data or systems to a new platform: We migrated the database to the cloud last weekend.
The word implies movement that is purposeful and often permanent or long-term.
