[Euld]

Started a fortress on an island that is one world tile away from the mainland.  No bridge or underocean mine to connect to the mainland yet.  I did, however, extend the fortress's boundary to include a smidgen of the mainland so I could build a bridge to it.  Dwarven caravan arrived in the fall from the southern edge of my map, same with migrants the following spring, somehow.

Dwarven caravans and migrants will always arrive as long as there is dry land at the edge of your embark region. If your island is small enough (or your embark region large enough) so that the entire edge of the map is underwater, you will never get any migrants.

Also, it is possible to bridge an island with the mainland by embarking in a zone that connects them. You don't need a physical bridge; if you abandon immediately and use part of the island again you will notice that civilizations previously only present on the mainland are also present on the island now. Your old fortress' territory is now recognized by the game as a connecting section of land.
