Wikipedia's article on the Salzburg Protestants, community-edited. Reliable for the expulsion edict of 31 October 1731 issued by Archbishop Leopold Anton von Firmian, which the article states affected over 20,000 people, and for the resettlement that followed, roughly 16,000 to 17,000 to East Prussia beginning with arrivals at Konigsberg on 28 May 1732, and a much smaller group of some 300 to Georgia from 1734; the article itself carries an internal inconsistency between "over 20,000 expelled" and "over 30,000 emigrated", named here rather than silently resolved.

Reliability Tier3
Community-edited reference page, tier 3. Used for the 31 October 1731 expulsion edict and the 1732 Prussian resettlement; the article's own 20,000-versus-30,000 figures are carried as a named inconsistency rather than silently picking one. NotesUsed for the 1731 to 1732 expulsion of Salzburg's Protestants.
