The aim of this paper is to study genealogical processes in a geographically structured population with weak migration. The coalescence time for sampled genes from different colonies diverges to infinity as the migration rates among colonies are close to zero. We investigate the moment generating functions of the coalescence time, the number of segregating sites and the number of allele types in sampled genes when there is low migration. Employing a perturbation method, we obtain a system of recurrence relations for the approximate solutions of these moment generating functions and solve them in some cases.
