Episode 4: Unraveling Ancestral Threads - A Genealogist's Perspective on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692
In this episode, we meet Nicole Gallant-Nunes, a professional and genetic genealogist with 20 years of experience specializing in Colonial New England, Acadian, and French-Canadian research. Nicole and her husband Derek were both born and raised in Danvers, Massachusetts, once known as Salem Village and the site of the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. She has deep knowledge of the Salem Witch Trials and the genealogies of many of those involved in the events surrounding this period of Salem's history. Her husband Derek Nunes and their son D.J. are direct descendants of George Jacobs who was sadly hanged in Salem Village in 1692 as well as several other accused ancestors from Salem and other areas. They also descend from some of the Salem accusers.
