  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Made two interesting Salem connections by marriage last night. Sarah Wildes and John Willard were two of the 19 executed. Sarah's husband John was married to Priscilla Gould who had died. She's my 9th great-grandaunt. John Willard was married to Margaret Wilkins. After John was executed, she married my 9th great-granduncle William Towne.

This means I'm related or connected to 9 of the 19 victims.

This connects me to the three victims from Topsfield memorialized with a stone on the Common.
