Family History is one of the eight short stories of The Warren Witches. It is written by Laura J. Burns.
Summary
The sisters are enjoying a relaxing weekend when an ancient demoness, Astarte, runs in on them and starts changing their timeline. At first they think that a simple Power of Three spell will fix it, but they were wrong: Astarte was present in Melinda Warren, Brianna Bowen, P. Baxter, Grams, their own time as well as Posie Halliwell's time. Now they will have to call upon the magic of this entire lineage to destroy this demoness before they are themselves destroyed.
