Hi
Regarding the stolen generation, the year of 1910 is “flexible”

When prinsep was chief protector, he was already advocating and getting laws changed. In 1905, the Act that was passed through parliament had the addition of removing children “by force”… so the removal of children was already happening for a long time before the official date. Decades before… but the technicality was the shouldn’t be taken by force…. Just when they weren’t in their parents arms. The force part meant they could be ripped from their parents arms. I guess force was always used because the children would have fought to get away.

When Neville became chief protector, he was better with paperwork and recording, whuvh is why there are more records for children removed after 1916.

Records for Stolen gen are through find and connect if you need to look anything up. There are also records online… family trees etc through state library wa
