I actually down loaded to my kindle tonight. I am down to 3/4 of the fifth book I have to read for my other groups. I hope to be able to read before we leave for vacation next Thursday. I can chime in a little I hope.

Of course you can chime in whenever you're ready. I'll look forward to your comments.

And remember the author will be here starting Monday for the rest of the month

Ok, are you all ready for this? I was just doing some research with my sister-in-law on the history of a castle that was owned by my father-in-law's family back in the 1300's in England (a painting of this castle was handed down to us and now hangs in my house) and we found an entry pertaining to an ancestor who was hanged in 1649 due to accusation of witchcraft during Witch trials in Early Modern Europe in Newcastle, England. I can't believe I have discovered this now after reading DotWH! It really brings the book to life for me!

Paula, do you have goose bumps, because I do.

That's an incredible discovery, I wonder how many of us have such sad histories in our ancestry.

Actually, I do Debbie. I have had this painting hanging in my house for 2 years and never stumbled upon this information until now. Until reading DotWH I never knew much about the witch trials in England, only the Salem Trials, and to find out that there was an ancestor involved in the same thing that I have just been reading about was startling! I makes me view the last part of the book with a new sense of sadness.

PB684,

That is a major WOW!  Not only has your family been able to follow and document your family tree back to the 1300's, but to also document some of their history too, is wonderful.  So many people don't know much about their families more than 3 or so generations back.  I can tell how much you treasure yours.  I know how much I treasure my family history.

Thanks for sharing.
