  • 1880 – 1910 Genealogical Records Relating to Western Australians by Sue Sondalini, Librarian, State Reference Library of W.A
    1880 – 1910 Genealogical Records relating to Western Australians by Sue Sondalini, Librarian, State Reference Library of W.A. Paper presented at the National Capital Family History Seminar organised by The Heraldry and Genealogy Society of Canberra Inc. held from 20 - 22 April 2001 in Canberra with the theme `Celebrating The Centenary of Federation’. The period 1880 – 1910 was a time of great significance for Western Australia The move to federation was just one of a number of significant developments at this time for West Australians. Background The Swan River Colony was colonized in 1829. The growth in the European population was slow. The quality of the soil was found to be poor and the colony’s remoteness from trade routes also limited its opportunities. In 1850 convict transportation was introduced as an attempt to boost the colony that at that time had a population of only just over 7,000. Over 9,500 convicts were transported to WA and together with the convict adminis tration and other migration the population in 1868, when convict transportation ceased, had grown to 24,000. The convicts were used as a labour force in the construction of a number of public buildings and when released on ticket of leave were able to work for wages in private employment. The isolation of the Swan River settlement from neighbouring colonies and settlements was a constant influence on the development of the colony. In 1877 the overland telegraph line was constructed. This connected Perth with Adelaide and from there to London. In the years 1879 – 1885 the government spent money on the construction of the first government railway lines to provide links between Perth and regional areas.
