Conclusion

Thank you for attempting to understand your ancestors. I hope you realize the tragedy that befell the 1600's. Realize how much worse everything was in such a simple time. Maybe one day someone will find out what really happened in Salem Town, Massachusetts. I hope what caused the Witch Trials never comes back to haunt us for our deads.
