Need abbreviations explained, i.e.: what is ppp

Question

As a new person to wikitree, it would be a huge help to have abbreviations or terms explained - what is ppp, what is a "Magna Carta surety", what is a Gateway Ancestor?  Maybe added to help category?

I don't know what PPP means in genealogy. Others do and will likely answer that part of your question.
