Yes, I did read S...Thanks for your comment, Nancy. Yes, I did read Stacy Schiff's book last year, as well as Tad Baker's Storm of Witchcraft. I try to read all the new books about the events of 1692. I descend from Bridget Bishop, George Jacobs and John Proctor, all hanged, as well as from many other victims who were accused and imprisoned.

What a harrowing time and place to be alive! I wonder if you have read <i>The Witches: Salem, 1692</i> by Stacy Schiff? As far as my research goes now I don't have ancestors who lived in in Salem (are nearby) then but I found Schiff's book hugely interesting. I wrote a post about it at http://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.com/2016/05/a-dark-time-in-american-history.html.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
