Our theme for this month for the Puritan Great Migration (PGM) Profile Challenge is PGM project profiles with names starting with "J." This means the usual suspects: John, James, Joseph, Jane, Joan and Johanna...or some of the more unusual: Jesse, Job, Josiah, or Judith, Jenet, Julian.
If you can work on some of PGM's profiles, please be sure to follow PGM's Editing Guidance and remember to collaborate with the profile managers.
To participate, please read the material in this post about the PGM Profile Challenge, let us know you plan to participate, and then report your progress here as well. We are keeping count and will be awarding the first achievement stickers soon!
Thank you very much for your help!
