2. Fisk and Fiske Descendents in America Genealogist and site author Alan Magary notes: "This register includes most male descendants of Simon Fiske born before 1776 in America. It is still a work in progress and is by no means complete. The purpose of the register is to document the largely undocumented factoids contained in the principal Fiske-Fisk Genealogy (by F. C. Pierce) and correct as many errors in that outrageously error-prone work as possible... Pierce was not a family genealogist in search of the pure truth. He was a journalist with a sideline. In order to drum up orders for his books, Pierce had the annoying habit of forcing links that did not exist..." and "You should pay little attention to whether the surname is spelled Fisk or Fiske, and you will have to look in both lists."
