According to Robert Charles Anderson's Great Migration Begins, pages 967-970, the origin of John Holgrave is 'Unknown'. Several Ancestry trees with no sources list a Robert Holgrave as his father. Does anyone have a source to document a father for John Holgrave? Are there any objections to removing Robert Holgrave-9 as the father?

I noticed the profile page on this ancestor has an image from GM.  Is that a copyright violation?
I detached the profile from the photo.

When we see these copyright violations we should detach them from any profiles so that they ultimately disappear.

Check the web briefly, even find a grave says his origins are unknown. Without any sources to support Robert as father, I think you should remove him.

I have reviewed, Anderson's Great Migration article, and the Donald Lines Jacobus writeup, and checked  AmericanAncestors to see if anything has ever been published on John Holgrave.

There is no evidence as to his origins, and his supposed father will be removed.  I just want to make sure all of the appropriate notes are on both profiles.
Since this is a PGM with disputed origins we should also add the PGM project account as profile manager. We need a leader to do that I believe.
