Excerpt from A Genealogy of the Nye Family, Vol. 4: A Supplement to Volumes I, II and III

Because this numbering method is used for many separate families, the book was necessarily indexed by page number. The index of military service is not included in the master index, being indexed inherently.

Perhaps the most unique part of this book is the untraced lines Because of the nation-wide coverage which was used in updating the Nye Genealogy, almost everyone named Nye in the u.s. Was reached. Many Nye families were found whose origins were from ancestors other than Nye spelling. Some were of more recent immigration that our Benjamin, yet probably related. Some were obviously descended from Benjamin but all efforts failed in finding the mis Sing ancestral link which would connect them. In most genealogies this information, the miscellaneous untraced names, becomes lost again. We believed this information is val uable and should be preserved. Inevitably, many of the untraced names Will be shown as 'obviously' belonging to Benjamin or one of the other major Nye lines. Even with several years of repeated painstaking reviews, some continued to be recognized, right up to publication and there must still be others.

In Volume II, page 16, a footnote states that the date of our ancestor Benjamin Nye's death is established as April 30, 1714. This is incorrect and was due to a misinterpretation of an excerpt from a deed of his grandson, Ichabod. The date of Benjamin's death has not been established. All that is known is that his death occurred before the above date and that he was still alive June 9, 1704.
