DNA uncovers their ancestry, revealing who they were and how witch trials still echo in our family trees.<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s time to get to the real meat and potatoes of Halloween. The nitty-gritty of spooky lore. Take all of the most essential ingredients of the holiday and pour them into a big cauldron over a large flame. Mix it all together with a comically large ladle. Stew. A witch\u2019s stew. This is the analogy I\u2019m making here. We\u2019re talking about witches now.<\/p>\n<p>All of this comes with a huge disclaimer that, not unlike other Halloween lore, witches come from real history, and their history often involves legitimate suffering and death. Like most, if not all, of the fun children\u2019s stories, songs, and rituals, witches and witchcraft are not without a very troubled past. It would be nice if this mythology was completely fictional and came from the mind of a creative author. But, like Tolkien trying to come to terms with the horrors of actual war by creating a fictional world of orcs, hobbits, and wizards, not even the most innocent-seeming children\u2019s pastime can originate without adversity.<\/p>\n<h2>Salem Witch Trials<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;77334&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;300739&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;151024&#8243;]Women have historically borne the brunt of witchcraft accusations and punishments. For example, the Salem witch trials are not easy to read about. While it\u2019s likely that many people today are descendants of women accused of witchcraft, it hasn\u2019t been as easy to link them genetically. [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;77325&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;146082&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;155862&#8243;]Since women don\u2019t have a Y chromosome, and Y-DNA testing and research has some genealogical advantages over other testing forms, we have been able to link some people today to accused witches or their relatives.<\/p>\n<h3>Samuel Wardwell \u2014 Haplogroup R-BY153021: One of Salem\u2019s Accused Men<\/h3>\n<p>For example, one of the small number of men accused of witchcraft, Samuel Wardwell, was an easy target for these accusations. He was really into the occult, was offbeat, and may have claimed to be magic himself. Three traits that may win you some really interesting friends today, but back then turned out to be a death sentence.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;77326&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;479354&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;913209&#8243;]Samuel has several well known modern descendants, including Ernest Hemingway and actor Scott Foley. If you belong to haplogroup R and take our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familytreedna.com\/products\/big-y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Big Y-700<\/a> test, the new <a href=\"https:\/\/discover.familytreedna.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Discover<\/a> tool can literally list Mr. Wardwell as a notable person in your ancestral history!<\/p>\n<h2>Disney Witches \u2014 From Salem to the Silver Screen<\/h2>\n<p>The only minister ever executed for witchcraft, George Gurroughs, also had a famous descendant: Walt Disney. Disney himself was responsible for creating the Maleficent character in Sleeping Beauty, a famous fictional witch. Sarah Jessica Parker, the famed actress who appeared as a witch in Disney\u2019s Hocus Pocus franchise, is also descended from Esther Dutch Elwell, an accused witch. The artist Norman Rockwell also descended from Esther. It\u2019s rumored that more of Mr. Disney\u2019s relatives can be found within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familytreedna.com\/groups\/disney\/about\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FamilyTreeDNA Disney Project<\/a>!<\/p>\n<h2>So, Are You Related to an Accused Witch?<\/h2>\n<p>Even more celebrities and notable people today are known to be descendants of accused witches. As more people take the Big Y-700, we develop more tools within Big Y\/Discover itself, research continues, and future projects (possibly a similarly equivalent mtDNA tool) are planned and mapped out. The possibility of finding more about your ancestry is seemingly limitless.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image media=&#8221;77328&#8243; media_lightbox=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;60&#8243; lbox_social=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;110203&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;261436&#8243;]As we prepare for the candy, haunts, and spooky vibes of Halloween, it\u2019s important to remember that our ancestors often weren\u2019t so fortunate. Though it seems like ancient history, the Salem trials weren\u2019t that long ago, relatively speaking. They were also, by no means, the last of their kind. Stigmas and accusations continued well into the 20th century. Taking a DNA test is one tool to immediately connect you with those that lived before us. It has personally helped me to not only find current relatives but to view my ancestral story as a whole. Similar to an astronaut looking at the earth from afar, looking at my results shows me how intimate and recent most of these seemingly ancient events really are.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;78549&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;one-one&#8221; shape=&#8221;img-circle&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;102588&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;598380&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<h3>Jeremy Balkin<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Customer Service Manager at FamilyTreeDNA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Balkin has been active in genetic genealogy for 11+ years and has been writing his whole adult life.
