Some peer-reviewed published sources identify this William Basset of Leiden as the same William Bassett of Plymouth who emigrated to New England on the Fortune in 1621.  Others including Anderson dispute that conclusion.  It's also possible that William of Leiden is the father of the emigrant.  The profile previously included data that conflated the two individuals.  It is cleaned up now, but even though the older William likely was not the emigrant, should this profile be PGM project-protected to prevent errors from creeping back in?

Protecting both profiles to prevent conflation pending resolution of the questions at some point in the future makes sense to me. PGM Leaders need to weigh in on it.

Once "son" Roger is removed from the profile, I will lock Barrett-18. The other profile is already protected.
