Newfoundland Pyes

In an effort to trace my grandfather’s family back as far as possible, I gathered information from every source I could find, about every person named Pye, I could find. I knew they would not all fall into my family tree. They could be lateral lines or as some Canadians like to say, they could be 42^nd cousins. Noticing the amount of births, deaths and marriages I had accumulated, I decided they needed to be shared. So here I begin with the oldest records I could find about the people named Pye.

Most of these came from Vital Statistics Records and Church records. Some of the larger towns and cities also reported on more remote locations. I’ve made every attempt to include parents and locations. On the other hand, I have NO attempt to connect any family to any other family. If you find a connection to your family, I’d love to hear about it. ThePyePlate@gmail.com.
