Advice before editing this pre-1700 Standish profile?

Question

I have information to contribute to the profile of Mehitable (Standish) Rood. This is what I can add:

• Connect to father Josiah Standish https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Standish-77 confident
• Connect to mother Sarah Allen https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Allen-893 uncertain

These are the sources I am using:

• Robert S. Wakefield, F.A.S.G, editor, Russell L. Warner, compiler, ''Mayflower Families Through Five Generations: Descendants of the Pilgrims who Landed at Plymouth, Mass. December 1629. Volume 14 Family of Myles Standish'' (Plymouth, Massachusetts: General Society of Mayflower Descendants, 1997), pp 16-17, 47-48
• Brother Eleazer: Connecticut. Probate Court (Hartford District); Probate Place: Hartford, Connecticut. Ancestry.com. Connecticut, Wills and Probate Records, 1609-1999 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2015. Original data: Connecticut County, District and Probate Courts. {{Ancestry Image|9049|007627238_00085}}

Jehodean Standish. {{Ancestry Image|9049|007627976_00160}} Names sister Mehitable, deceased, had the following children Rufus Roode, Josiah Standish Roode, Jeremiah Roode, Lydia who last name is unknown, and Eunice the wife of Benjamin Day.

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding? Thank you!

Tag it with Puritan Great Migration as I am pretty sure that would be the project you need

Answer 1

The profile could fall under Mayflower or Massachusetts.If it were controversial I would suggest Mayflower, but it seems pretty straightforward. What your doing is fine. You are using primary sources and good secondary sources. You're using inline citations.

Answer 2

Seems like you have been doing a good job on this profile so far. The more info you show in the bio, especially for Ancestry or Findmypast pay sites, the better.
