If you are a descendant of an immigrant who arrived in New England during the Great Migration, did you know that there is a sticker you can add to your profile? This special sticker is for you, a living member of Wikitree (not for other descendants). It adds a little *bling* to your profile with the Project's ship image and declares that you're a "Descendant of PGM migrant ..." 

PGM Descendant Sticker Template

The basic format is:

{{PGM Descendant | [[ PGM person's ID | PGM person's name ]]  }}

Copy/paste the above to your profile.

Replace "PGM person's ID" with the immigrant's Wikitree-ID, eg. Fish-73

Replace "PGM person's name " with the name of the passenger, eg. Nathaniel Fish

An example of one of mine:

{{PGM Descendant | [[Fish-73 | Nathaniel Fish]] }}

If you have several PGM ancestors, you can add multiple names:

{{PGM Descendant | [[ PGM person's ID | PGM person's name ]], [[ PGM person's ID | PGM person's name ]], [[ PGM person's ID | PGM person's name ]] }}

You can also add a little freeform to the sticker if you'd like, such as:

{{PGM Descendant | [[Jackson-336 | John Jackson]], and 300+ others}}

You can see examples on my profile.

Also a good idea, if you're interested in PGM ancestors, is to add "PGM" to your followed tags on your own profile so that you can follow the activity on PGM profiles. Use the form here to add tags: Special: Following

For more detail on following tags see Help Tags.

If you don't know who your PGM ancestors are yet, you can display the PGM Category and click the MY CONNECTIONS button at the top right. Or you can use Chase's app, Ancestor Explorer.

I'm a direct descendant of 42 PGM ancestors. I used to have a list in my bio, but decided to streamline my bio more. So I just added the sticker with the +41 more. Thank you.

I did similar, but with “+numerous others.”

I just checked out your bio. Very nice work! I like the table showing progress in finding your relatives.
