The Puritan Great Migration Project has a particular interest in the English origins of early 17th century immigrants to the New England colonies. Because of the fairly large number of false, fraudulent, disproven and speculative origin theories found on the internet and in older published works, the PGM project may also Project Protect and manage profiles which do not strictly fall in the PGM guidelines. This is done to improve the accuracy and reliability of wikitree. These profiles might include:

  • Immigrants to New England who arrived after 1640 who have known false origins/parents.
  • People who never immigrated to New England but are commonly confused with someone who did.
  • Profiles of people who are commonly associated with PGM immigrants in error. For example, people who have been disproved as parents of a PGM immigrant.
  • People with speculative connections to PGM immigrants where the evidence is not strong enough to attach them to the immigrant.
