Ainaserkewen: The reason you would not have found anything in the appendixes on the 8 other Nazgul would be because most are from different sunderings of men (i.e. most of them were NOT Numenoreans). There was Khamul the Easterling and the witch-king (a Numenorean) known to name, but Tolkien did not go into much (if any, besides the two mentioned above) detail on the origins of the Ringwraiths. All that is known is that they were kings and lords of their peoples, they were men and only men, and they were ensnared and corrupted by Sauron. I asked the question myself not too long ago; I got the same answer.
