In a small community in 1692, I'd be surprised if many of the PCs weren't cousins of some kind, even siblings. What's the problem with PCs being related if it makes sense in the background?

I don't think for a minute that the author belives that the Salem Witch Trials were really about Cthulhu. He makes this quite clear with a historical background. This is fiction you know.
