Subject: RE: BS: Apology for forced child migration
593(?) sent to New Zealand between 1949-1953. Much later, the NZ government worked to help them rediscover their identities. The BBC found that the number was 1300.
At the same time, some were sent to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and South Africa.
Records are not complete; the number of 100,000 sent to Canada durint the hundred year period 1860-1960 is probably low.
