I've been watching videos on building iron golem farms... and if those work, I can't see why building a jungle or snow village wouldn't work. You might have to fence in the village initially to ensure the first villages don't try to go running back to their original village. I'm not sure, but I think the ones that spawn in your village should want to stay in your village.
I also think you could probably just expand a village that is adjacent to these biomes into those biomes by builidng new houses all on one side of the village in the direction of the new biome you want to go. I think then, if you destroy the older houses on the far side of the original village, the village center will just migrate towards your jungle or taiga biome.
I want to build a snow village with snow blocks in a snow biome same with jungle.
1- What is the best way to transport villagers? Minecart?
2- If I transport villagers to the new locations will they breed/stay/ make iron golems?
3- Will they breed over 200+ elevation?
4- Is there a map max on breeding limit or is it unlimited with lots of lag after you reach a couple hundred?
1 - No Answer from me.
2- So long as Houses are present (Complete with doors and roof) they will stay. If there is space they will breed. They do not build Iron Golems.
3 - With the Current Bug, yes (See below for answer)
4 - There is a Breeding Limit with Passive Mobs. However a Bug with the Villagers is currently allowing them to exceed the Breeding Limit when they have babies. And yes, this can and will create a MASSIVE amount of lag as a result of this.

1.Minecarts
2. Yes if you build them a "village" Unless it's in a snow biome
3. Not Sure
4. Supposed to be 50. With Glitched breeding I've seen them in the hundreds.

1. Minecarts will work, or for cheaper supplies, a couple dirt blocks at night.
Go to their village and destroy all their doors except for the one closest to where you want to move them. Then go about 10 (max is 32 to be part of the same village.. but lower is better to detect faster) and build a "house". The new house is a door with a single dirt block behind the door. Then come nightfall after all your villagers have gone inside either the remaining house, or gathered around your new door, destroy the door of the original village, they should then all flee to the new door. Go another 20 blocks and repeat over and over as they flee to each door.
The video builds a much larger house, but all it takes to constitute a house is a door and more blocks covering one side than the other.
You don't really need to move all of them, all you need is two for them to start populating your new village.
Thanks to everyone for responses. Very helpful. I really wish they wouldn't fix the villager limit bug. If you have a couple of villages (or more) and an iron golem grinder thats not a lot of villagers. You can always eliminate too many villagers but a set max game limit doesn't allow flexibility.
