Monthly General Membership Meeting  (General Membership Meeting)
7:00 pm
Zoom, or in-person at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1925 Boulevard Rd SE, Olympia, WA
Program: The Witches of Salem, by Jerri McCoy
 
Social time starts at 6:30 pm.  Formal meeting begins at 7:00 pm.
 
“The Witches of Salem” – There are no witches – are there?  Of course not! But in 1692, in Salem, the witch hunt would swell and burn. How were witches identified? What happened to the accused? And who were those who were executed that terrible year in Salem? Come learn a little bit about them and their accusing neighbors.
 
Jerri was born and raised in San Diego, California.  She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from San Diego State University, and worked in the computer industry for 30 years before retiring.  She and her husband have been married for over 55 years, and they have two grown sons.
 
Jerri has been active in genealogy for almost 50 years.  She is a member of her local genealogical society in Olympia, the Washington State Genealogical Society, and several lineage societies, including the DAR  the Mayflower Society, and the Associated Daughters of Early American Witches.  She is a past president of two genealogical societies, and has held numerous lineage society offices.
 
Jerri has published three books on her family.  She broke down a major brick wall using land records, and wrote an article documenting this elusive Mayflower line ancestor, which was published in the Mayflower Descendants.  She is currently the membership genealogist for the Washington State Mayflower Society.  During her family research, Jerri discovered that her 8th great grandmother was killed during the Salem Witch Trials.  As you can tell, her hobby interests revolve mainly around computers and genealogy.
