IMO the only people who can claim that their ancestors were persecuted as a result of witch trials are beer brewers.
Because witch trials tended to focus on unmarried adult women, and one of the only trades available to unmarried women in early modern Europe was brewing beer, the women accused of being witches were frequently brewers. This is also where a bunch of stereotypes about witches (cauldrons, brooms, pointy hats, cats) comes from.
