And now for my next question....seems a researcher out there thinks she is descended from one of those poor ladies hung in Salem. Now that is reasonable, and she might be correct. It is not my line, so I have not checked her data, other than to be politely and genuinely interested. But now I am wondering ....do we have any DC folks who have chased a line back to Salem?? I know we have talked of other historical incidents and figured out how folks in this area connected...but don't think that one ever came up... **************************************************************************************************************** Seems the local folks went 'nuts'....<kinda like now...(inside joke girl)>... *******Laughing faintly Current research indicates that the residents of Salem were HIGH on ergotamine during the Trials' due to the ingestion of contaminated rye grain.......throw in some religious zealots <Taliban types> and you end-up with HUMAN SACRIFICE in the Name-of-God....amazing isn't it ??? *******My o my...now where have I gotten that idea before??? Stupidity and Inhumanity are not reserved to the Past.......Our Salem Ancestors just had an excuse......'good drugs'.... ********Exactly as I thought. No excuse. ? ( 0 0 ) ===o0O0o=U=o0O0o===jan
