You can’t add the badge to your profile, it’s awarded by the project after you join.  Here’s a link the page that describes how to join: https://www.wikitree.com/g2g/1289313/join-puritan-great-migration-project-curating-profiles-since

If you want to mark yourself as a descendant of PGM person, instructions for adding the sticker are in that same post.

I know I cannot add my own badge. I wanted to add the sticker or whatever as a descendant of PGM person. I have more than one that came over during that period. I read those instructions and they make no sense to me.
At the top of your bio just type

two curly brackets {{

Then the words PGM Descendant  

then the pipe | character

then two square brackets

the PGM person’s Wiki-ID

another pipe |

their name

and then two square brackets ]]

And then two curly brackets}}

You’ll end up with a sticker that says “Descendant of PGM Migrant” and their name.   If you leave off the name part and just put the curly brackets after the word descendant you’ll have a sticker that says “Descendant of PGM Migrant “
Kathy Forbes,

This worked. I am slow but learning more every day. My family is much larger than I ever imagined. I thank you so much for your time and help and being so patient.

Cheryl
Glad it worked!

Hi Cheryl, this should help you with two of your ancestors, and you can keep adding more:

{{PGM Descendant |<br>[[Bryam-11|Nicholas Bryam]]<br>[[Shaw-221|Susan Shaw]]}}

I should have added this is the sticker. smiley
