I know there are some US folks on the BURNETT list also maybe ENG-STS-GNOSALL-L@rootsweb.com list where these BURNET-PACE ancestors lived in the early 1700s and spread out to other counties/shires or shores. In this regard I've been busy with some colonial Virginia history as a RICHARD PACE settled at Jamestown about 1611 Richard - First Pace in America http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/lines/lineage0001.htm In the 4th generation in Virginia PACE history (1690s) there appeared two JOHN PACEs This was confusing for decades. The PACE name, being a "First Name" in colonial Virginia, now-a-days, has many diligent researchers across the US as can be imagined. A DNA study was undertaken in 2003 and found my test results matched 25 of 25 tests with today's descendents of one John Pace, Middlesex County, VA. of the 1690s one of the two largest groups of US Paces http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/lines/john-mid/jp.htm I think this is amazing! and being born in the UK myself, a new door has opened to many researchers looking into their family roots. This may link some of the BURNET=PACE folk to an interesting flow of history too. The BURNET-PACE connection was also early 1700s http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/uk/1000.htm Please have a look at the web pages, maybe other surnames of interest show up. There are links to the DNA study and good interpretation on how to 'understand' the matter and applications to research. Gord Pace - Brighton,Ontario http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/
