Salem Witch Trials documents and other records

28. It can be confusing!

Even as recently as a few generations back, I've run into similar problems while researching my family tree. My dad and his father and grandfather all had the same name, which isn't so bad, but trying to figure everyone out with the same names any further back than that can be a challenge.

Name confusion aside, it's still fascinating learning about our roots, isn't it? For me that would be especially anything having to do with the Salem witch trials.

I once told my husband I'd like to go back in time and give the accusers a good talking to. He said I'd be swinging in the wind in nothing flat. He was probably was right.
