Witch Bloodline Names from Salem, England, Norway and More
If you’ve ever wondered if you descend from a line of witches, you could be right! Do you have a family tree you can access? If so, finding your witch ancestors will be easy. If not, what you’ll do is write down your family’s last names – your last name (which is typically your father’s), your mother’s maiden name, her mother’s maiden name, your father’s mother’s maiden name, etc. Gather as many of these last names as you can, then compare against the witch bloodline names listed here! It also helps if you have a general idea of where your family originates. For example – Earlys are from Ireland, Fosters are from England, etc.
Before We Start: Please Note!
Before diving into your family’s history and comparing to the witch bloodline names below, you have to discern whether you believe these ancestors were witches or not. Many of the accused “witches” plead guilty to lessen their sentence, be freed, or they were tortured into “confessing”. It is possible that some of these people were witches at the most basic level because some were considered wise men or women who used herbs to heal and divination to help find lost objects, etc. Do your research on witch bloodline names that match your own and determine from there whether or not you descend from a real “witch”.
Salem Witch Bloodline Names
Whether your family lives in New England or has migrated elsewhere in the U.S., check your familial names against the Salem Witch Trials last names:
Keep in mind, some of these names are of the convicted, while some were accused and either escaped or died in jail before conviction. ALSO, I did not include the maiden names of the married women. If you’re serious, you might want to check out the married Salem witches’ maiden names too! If you have one of the Salem witches’ names in your family, you could be a descendant from the Salem witch bloodline. Next you’ll want to build your family tree online at ancestry or elsewhere and search for an ancestor to confirm.
American Witch Bloodline Names (Outside of Salem)
In the last article Ancestral Witchcraft article, we listed off the names of the Salem witches. All who were accused and found guilty, those who were executed and those who escaped or died in prison. In this database, we’ll scratch the surface of other American witch surnames from elsewhere in the United States. So if your ancestors didn’t live in Salem, but live somewhere else in the U.S., you might find it here! The names below are taken from Connecticut, Maryland, and New York witch trial documentation. Also from Appalachian and Ozark folklore books. If you have ancestors from New England, Maryland, Louisiana, the Carolinas, the Appalachians or Ozarks with any of these last names – look at your family tree to determine if your ancestor might have been a witch!
English Witch Bloodlines
I’ll reiterate, the names here are a mixture of Witch Trial documentation from England as well as what we know of English cunning men and women. I’ve also included last names of well-known twentieth century English witches. It is up to you to determine if your ancestor was a “witch” or not. Our definition of a witch today doesn’t always match what the definition of a witch was back then. Someone who uses herbs to heal, pendulums to divine messages, and practices folk magic might have been a healer, pellar, conjurer, or cunningfolk back then, but today we might label them as a “witch”.
Irish Witch Bloodline Names
The Witch Trials in Ireland were fewer than those elsewhere in Europe, but they still happened. There were also healers, herbalists, and wise men and women who were labeled as witches in the name of superstition. Some survived the accusations, while others avoided them entirely. It is up to you to decide if your ancestors were witches by your definition or not. Names were gathered from public documentation of Witch Trials and folklore books.
Scottish Witch Bloodline Names
Recently a book from the seventeenth century containing three hundred + names of Scottish witches was published online through the Wellcome Library / Ancestry.com. While I would LOVE to provide you all with those names, the writing is in cursive and hard to decipher. Until I can translate or find a legible source, here I will provide the other known Scottish witch bloodline names:
German & Swiss Witch Bloodlines
Perhaps you had a German or Swiss ancestor who was accused and/or executed for witchcraft. Check out the names of the German and Swiss witch bloodlines below. Be aware that there were thousands of German witches executed during the Medieval and Early Modern Era whose names were never recorded. They were often documented as “a young girl of nine”, “the prettiest woman in town”, “the rich woman”, “the reverend of…” So even if you don’t see your ancestral names in the witch bloodline names, still doesn’t mean you aren’t descended from witches. I’ve combined the two (German and Swiss) because of proximity.
Northern European Witch Bloodline Names
In this list, I am including witches from the Scandinavian and Northern European countries. The entire continent endured such tragedy, and the Northern European countries were no strangers to the Witch Hunts that ravaged the people.
Mediterranean Witch Bloodline Names
Italy and surrounding Mediterranean countries also had their fair share of Witch Trials and executions. The nature of the trials was a bit different than those found in Britain, Germany, and Northern Europe, but still tragic nonetheless. If you have Italian or Mediterranean surnames in your family, check this list:
Now What? How to Honor Your Witch Ancestors
So you found one of your familial names on the witch bloodline names list…now what? I suggest researching everything you can about that particular witch ancestor. Google it. Often Wikipedia pages with information on the Witch Trials have taken their information from books and other resources. Check the bottom of the Wikipedia pages for the Bibliography section. Read those books. Read and read some more.
Record your findings in your journal, BOS, or in your family tree! Another way to honor your witch ancestors, study the ancient culture of his/her people and also the culture at the time of his/her life. Cook the food your ancestors might have cooked. Set up an altar for your witch ancestor and honor him/her with candlelight, prayer, incense, and other appropriate offerings. Listen to their music.
Ancestral Witchcraft: Does it Matter?
If you find a witch ancestor in documents or not, it doesn’t really matter. It is a fun and cool thing to find one, yes, but you can still practice ancestral witchcraft. Study your ancestors’ ways, wherever they are from. Incorporate those ways into your daily life and spiritual path. The thing is – if you go back far enough in time, everyone had pagan ancestors, some of whom were priests and priestesses. Some were shamans and druids. Some were witch doctors and midwives. Everyone has at least ONE of these magical people in their heritage, whether we can find proof of it or not.
Witch Ancestors Series: More to Come!
I barely scratched the surface of the witch bloodline names in America and Europe, so please stay tuned. I plan to write in-depth articles on each country’s Witch Trials and bloodlines, including the regions not mentioned above (Eastern European, Baltic, Basque, etc.) If this generates enough interest, I will also write an article on witch ancestors from all over the world. Have you found any witches in your family tree? If so, how do you honor them?

Kristi L Namyslowski
February 5, 2022 at 6:19 pmAccording to all of the research I have done, my lineage leads back to Elizabeth Dane Johnson. She was an accused, confessed to having been a witch. She was later found not guilty and set free. Her daughter was also charged, jailed and but she was found guilty. Elizabeth Danes son Stephen Johnson is the one that married into my bloodline, making him and his mother a part of mine. Then to his daughter Sarah and so on. I have been all over the internet trying to make certain this is the correct bloodline. I have not been able to prove this without a shadow of a doubt. However, if this is true, this is very exciting for me as I have always wanted to learn of my lineage.

February 5, 2021 at 3:16 pmUnfortunately, I have been dabbling in my lineage because I have always felt ties to the city of Salem and it’s history. I say unfortunately because as cool as it is to find out why I am connected, it is sorrowful as well. I have traced myself back all the way to not only Samuel Wardwell but also to William Griggs. Making my heritage the accuser and the accused. Along with many other names listed in the events that took place.

September 12, 2020 at 1:30 pmHi, thank you for listing the family names of those whose lives were altered forever one way or another because of gross intolerance. I would not have known my ancestor was accused and imprisoned at Salem if I hadn’t seen the name list you created and I’m grateful! Thanks! My story overlaps my ancestors accused in more ways than make sense so maybe the gifts are still passed generationally. My kids were watching Harry Potter when I found out and researched our family tree- can’t make this stuff up!

July 15, 2020 at 10:38 amBe sure to peak into Clan Colqhoun. My mother connected our bloodline to the Black Cock of Scotland, reportedly one of the few open practioners of witchcraft and necromancy that evaded execution. We have strong magic in our family, even if it has been abused or neglected by a generation or two.

May 29, 2020 at 4:49 amYes, many family names are changed when immigrating to the US. Sometimes completely, usually just dropped or added a letter or two to make them more easily pronouncible. My mother’s side went from Starling to Starlin. You’ll have to do research to find out for sure.

September 28, 2019 at 2:22 amI don’t cast spells, but do pray fairly often. I associate with United Methodists. I am clairvoyant, clairaudient, sentient, and a psychic medium. I can talk to the recently deceased, and have visions. My father was the same. I have a niece who also seems to have the genes. My father’s mother was the carrier. Associated names are Blackburn, Vannoy, and Bishop, and Langford. I see Bishop listed. I think I inherited something from my mom, who was a McNeil and Hoffman. Not sure what else. It shows up after someone with whom we had a strong psychic link with (with me it was my mother) passes away, and they show us a glimpse beyond the veil. Thank you.

March 17, 2019 at 1:40 pmI’ve had natural witch instincts all my life. But avoided embracing the ME me because I was trying to be a good Catholic. That’s fallen away now and my witchy self is stronger than ever.
Doing ancestral research last year, I discovered that I am descended from a real witch. A true witch who lived after being accused of witchcraft.
Katharine “Goodie” Harrison.
She followed astrology closely and also did folk magic. Clearly was a confident witch. Luckily she had money and powers seen and unseen.
She managed to go free and start over in NY state after CT ran her out.
Learning that I am descended directly from a witch who lived is inspiring. Sadly I think most of those who were murdered after being accused of being witches, weren’t witches.
I know they found peace on the other side though.

M. Samson
February 23, 2019 at 11:59 amIt seems like I’m related to the Sampson family … I’ve always heard that strange call from Scotland in my heart, dunno why, because I’m French. But. Now that I’m growing up, I’m getting ready to move to Scotland. And for that I also do some research on my family, especially my father’s family because I don’t really know them and my genealogy at this side. It’s a little complicated, I’m not very good at it, my mother doesn’t know much about my paternal family, I don’t know them and my father died when I was little. But for the moment, I did not even try to find out if my name was related to a line of witches or not. I was just looking for the Samson of Normandy, and to see this name of Sampson in this atypical list challenged me. After some research, it looks like I’m a descendant in the direct line. It’s quite surprising. And rather impressive. Maybe I’ll use it to find out more information when I finally live in Scotland. I’m moving in next September, the time to finish my year of study. I’ve already planned everything, it remains for me to settle down to do my research.
Thank you for this article, it helped me a lot.

Kate Howes
January 6, 2019 at 8:01 amI am wondering why no one ever mentions the witches of Mexico. Catemaco, Mexico is literally full of very good witches. Perhaps it is the way they carry out their incantions or maybe just not enough people really know about them.My mothers family comes from decendants of the craft way back.My great, great grandfather was tasked to bring down the witches that would steal the cinnamon tree branches, so the ability to stop or allow the passage through the Cinnamon tree orchards was very important to the town as this was one of the major money makers for the town and the people that lived there.I know it might sound a little bit odd but the value of cinnamon back in those days is equivalent to the Vanilla Bean today.Witches were drawn to the tree groves and still to this day most witches utilize cinnamon for their incantations.

December 24, 2018 at 1:42 pmL.Porter your statement of needing help in opening or let’s say balancing your chakras. I know a woman whom is very educated in this topic,whom like yourself is a true by bloodline witch of Norwegian desent. As you are gemini so is she. Her and I dated for nearly 5 years before we parted ways but in those five years I was educated in some truth on this matter of witchcraft sorcery or however one may describe it. I never was a believer nor disbeliever of this matter when we came together,I assure you and any others who may question the truth of this subject that i now am neither a believer or no believer , I now am a knower of this truth ,fact , existence reality . I do believe we all have the ability to change, manipulate,control or cast our will upon people objects things etc. Actually I know we do. Certain individuals are more prevailent than others. I have witnessed this woman throw an object of mine of great value across a room and break it, and never physically touch it,all done from the powers of her mind or chi energy more so I believe. Not fully a knower on the chi subject as of yet but yes a believer. Fact is we all posses the abilities, recognizing it and knowing it is truth ,fact, is most likely the first and hardest step in being able to harness and control the abilities to use it or manifest by use of it. Twice I’ve known her to use her abilities to manifest the second time she did nearly cost me my life…fact. I have only witnessed her being able to use her abilities when angered,not just angry I’m talking blood boiling mad. Never witnessed her using it when all was normal or happy moments. But mad best lookout if you are on the receiving end of her hatred at that moment. We ,her and I reside in Florida although we are no longer together I still have contact with her. So that said if your reside here also I could offer you an avenue for help. But I believe you don’t necessarily need outside help ,the answer lies within your ownself to unblocking your chakras look deeper within while concentrating on freeing your mind or opening your third eye or pineal gland…deeper meditation or trance state of being is what will allow you what you seek. That said to get to that state of being is up to you to find, it could be one simple thing to achieve it or a combine of things. Like certain herbs may do it or certain sounds or music or possibly a chemical to change your state of mind I don’t know your exact thing it will take to get to the altered state of trance to balance your chakras you have to try various things to obtain what u are seeking. Hope this helps somewhat. It’s only advice and the good part is that it’s free and always will be from me. Lol. Best to you..key thing to remember is you need not believe you can do this..you have to know and once you know which comes from within your being not your mind and there I’d your answer. Good fortune to you and to all. Peace and please always use your abilities to manifest positive energy never negative. Gemini I know you will…I wonder do you have blue eyes? Just a thought

I was always cudioys if the persecuted witches descendants had powers and abilities. I know that Susannah was a Pious Christian woman. So , having natural abilities is a curious thing , isnt it?

October 20, 2018 at 3:38 amOk, I’m lost… I’m a Putnam, from the same family as the Salem witch trials. Many of my ancestors were burned at the stake… Why wouldn’t this list include the Putnam name? If you are going to mention Salem I find it a little odd that you wouldn’t mention any of the family names related to that trial.

October 20, 2018 at 12:18 pmI haven’t read any Putnam names “burned at the stake” in Salem. Most of the victims were hanged, one pressed to death with rocks. Plus the Putnam name is associated with the accusers, not the actual witches.

January 1, 2020 at 5:13 amI’ve always been told since I was a little girl that my relative was burnt at the stake in Salem but then I read no one was burnt. I’m confused. Been trying to search and figure out who I’m related to.

January 3, 2020 at 2:21 pmNo one was burnt in Salem. Hung mostly and one man Corey Giles was pressed to death with large stones. Build a family tree and research your familial last names against witch trial lists.

November 30, 2018 at 6:29 pmI think you’re confused Mr. Putnam; as Admin states, no accused witches were burned at the stake in Salem. They were hung or pressed to death, with any number also dying in the prison of the usual ailments associated with imprisonment at that time.
Also, Ann Putnam and her family were among the accusers, not the accused.

October 7, 2018 at 8:47 pmThe Nordic patronyms Jonsdotter and Eriksdotter would only exist for a generation, and it would be impossible to decide whether you are related to them unless they are placed by the name of the farm they were born on or the one they lived and died on. Any daughter of Erik would be Eriksdotter and her children would not share her last name.

October 16, 2018 at 11:54 pmWhile that is traditionally true, a lot of families chose to keep that as a surname for many generations especially if they moved somewhere else. I know women with the surname of Erikson or Ericsson.

September 25, 2018 at 11:30 amYou’d have to look it up. Google “last name carrier origins” and usually the results will tell you other forms of the name.

September 11, 2018 at 8:27 pmMerri meet,
You have nothing on eastern European witches (as you all call them)? Why is that?
Remember a “witch” will always know another one when they meet. And if you are a descendant, you will know. The elders of your family will always tell you. Also it’s not a religion, no worship to God’s and dieties, that is the person’s personal beliefs. The power is more like a connection in your bloodline to all and everything around you. Because you know if you back up everything is one.

September 12, 2018 at 12:49 amI haven’t written one yet. I had to break the articles up into pieces – Europe is a large continent. Some witches make witchcraft their religion, some don’t. It depends on the region and the individual.
