You can help the US Southern Colonies Project identify profiles that are in need of project oversight or tracking. Generally, these are profiles that are contentious or are historically significant. You can find the WikiTree guidelines for Project Protection here:
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Project_Protection.
The subject of the profile must have been born before 4 July 1776 (for WikiTree purposes, USA began 4 July 1776) and lived in colonial Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, or Georgia (regardless of where or when the person was born or died).
