Those above and at leats 245, 000 more were condemned as Witches. The total does not include the Chidren executed for some ecclesiastical reason.

With a base of 245,000 the odds are that anyone with a European or British Isles background has a related ancestor on a Witch list. Even those related to Church leaders.

notice how many are women and during the witch hunts it was women they went after. men usually got in to it because they defended someone. Christ taught women to be leaders because we are all equal in Gods eyes. Men didn't like that, women were supposed to be lower. religous leaders used this stuff to rid the church of women leaders and to try to put us in our place.

No.
My ancestors came over on the Mayflower, lived in New England and were strong adherents of the Church of England and opposed the insurrection (American Revolution). They were British sympathizers all the way to my grandfather.
I take a strong stand against what they stood for. I would have stood side by side with the founding fathers of our Constitutional Republic.

I haven't traced my heritage that far back ... I do know most of my family came from Canada to New England.
