There are now over 100,000 Western Australian profiles

Question

As of 21 April 2024 there are 100,128 Western Australian Profiles. Source.

This is an increase of 21,279 profiles over the last 12 months. Source: I've been keeping track using the above source.

This is counting all profiles with at least one of birth, marriage or death in Western Australia. Collectively, they account for 152,024 of these events in Western Australia. Source.

7,206 (7.2%) of these profiles are curently unconnected to the main tree. Source.

As of a month ago, 48,852, or nearly a third of these dates were in the 19th Century, accounting for 42.8% of all dates relating to colonists in the 19th Century. (Indigenous persons are heavily underrepesented in offical records, and only slightly less so in Wikitree for this period.) Source: off-line spreadsheet, for details check out posts of 19th Century completeness for Western Australia.
