In the past 48 hours I have noticed that about a dozen Pace Mail List members have been unsubcribed from the Pace mail list, apparently involuntaritly. I have emailed to Rootsweb about this and asked them to deal with this situation. I have also noticed that they have been having some technical problems recently, which could explain the problem. I have emailed to the people who have been unsubscribed and advised them how to resubscribe to the mail list. Gordon W.

Hi Jon, We have several members of Pace Society of America who are descendants of William Pace who married Ruth Lambert. Some of them are on this list so hopefully they will see your post.

There was a John Pace who married an Edney BATTEN around 1821 in Johnston Co. NC. I have run into several people researching this line; one expert was V. A. Pace Jr. and he said their children were Bartley, Larry, Rilda, and Zilpha. V.A. Pace Jr. also believed that John Pace was perhaps the illegitimate son of Stephen Pace (b.1757), and grandson of John and Sarah Burge Pace. I think V. A. Pace has dropped out of circulation. He posted: : "John Pace 1798-1872. Married to Edny Batten April 1821. Children Bartley, Rilda, Zilpha,Larry" Bruce Howard suggested that this John Pace was another child of Stephen Pace and Lucy Walker Pace, Stephen's 2nd wife. Is this possible, Jon?

Further to talk about suspected Paces from Wales: CADWALLADER PACE was a child in a PACE family I believe from Appalachia, somewhere. This is a Welsh name for sure, but first: I wrote a lenghy piece the other night about how the WELSH PATRONOMIC Naming System described by the BBC-WALES web site may have effected some of our Welsh PACE mysteries but it got lost in the dial-up "technology." Today I'm in Calgary, with this "high-speed wonder" so I'll try again in brief. My ancestor, as far back as I could determine, was ROWLAND Pace, in the 1st decade of the 1600s. According to the Parish register microfilm for Saint Chad's Church at Prees, Shropshire ROWLAND Pace had several children whose given names seemed to stay in the PACE family, generation after generation. It seemed that Rowland may have had a brother GRIFFITH PACE. This chap had a daughter, DOROTHY - the name was spelled differently - which may have something to do with the Welsh language being used in that part of Shropshire - Welsh Marches area. Anyway, at Rowland's time, the Welsh Patronomic naming system would likely have been in effect, so just what could Rowland's parentage surname be then? Perhaps a parent with the surname ROWLAND would be the place to look in the PRs. I was just visiting a Welsh friend (from south Wales) in Vancouver area and we got talking about the naming system. Dave seemed to understand the naming system and to explain it. So, I'm left to wonder about ROWLAND Pace's father being possibly of the ROWLAND surname. Then there was the GRIFFITH Pace. Some years ago I was contacted by an Ed Griffith of Aurora, Ontario who'd found my web site and said he had PACE ancestry. His GRIFFITH ancestry came from Wrexham, Wales. This is only about 15/20 mile north/west of Prees. His PACE ancestry he said was from Northumberland in the N/E of England. Ed Griffith seems to have passed on. I wonder if his DNA results would have told us something. Well I did have a look at the DNA results of MADDOCK donors; they did have the same numbers as our John of Middlesex line. Joe said the haplogroup in that area of the UK was very common. The 'ap' in the Welsh language means 'son of' and that seemed to be the important feature of naming in the Welsh language, that effected what surname you went by. Another question may be 'At what time, in what family, did the naming system change to the so called 'English system' as the BBC-WALES site? It took place between the 1500s and 1800s but in rrrural and isolated parts of the Welsh mountaind, the old naming system went on into the 1800s. Anyway, something to think about. GTPace

Later this month my wife and I will be making a trip to London and Scotland. I will have a little time to do a little exploring of my Pace ancestry while there. I expect to walk the area around Wapping and St. Dunstan's Church. But I am looking for suggestions what I should look for and things to notice while there. I will be taking my digital cameras as well. Royce Phillips

Yes, There's a Rootsweb mailing list for Melungeon heritage, I had searched the archives, several years ago, for PACE and found some. Also, mentioned was the heritage and possible origin to Balkan nations of southern Europe which could include Malta, a former British Colony and protectorate, where an uncle of mine was stationed, the H.M.S.London being the last British warship to leave Valetta. The British Merchant Marine had/has many Maltese sailors serving on their ships, throughout the worlds shipping lanes, and many Maltese had the PACE surname. There are many Maltese communities here in Canada. I've worked with descendents. No doubt, some from Michigan/Ontario are with us on this mailing list. I've been in touch with some. GTPace Incidently, the "Apache" is from the webmail part of the server and doesn't let you put your name in the slot so I enjoy my new name. Cheers!

To me Genealogy is an historical adventure. It has given me a clear picture of those who fought and died to make our country what it is. I am proud to be an American. I also realized that I am not giving enough time to the young men and women that are trying to protect what our fore fathers built for us. It was just brought to my attention that a dear friend of mine 61 years old, volunteered to go back into Military service. Retired Major Dennis McCool served 1 year in Iraq (Dec 06 to Dec 07) Has now gone to Kuwait to aid our young men and women going to Iraq. I am inserting his Web site. As you scan down the page you will see a letter from him as Update Aug 7 from Kuwait please read it. Here he tells us what our children need, where and how to send it. He gives a pretty clear picture of what happens in Kuwait. Please just take a moment and scan his web site. We can all be a part of protecting our heritage and help those in the front lines.

What DNA could do is to verify your aunt's research and your connection to the William Pace-Ruth Lambert line. There is a sale on right now and it is a good time. We are not supposed to post prices on the list, and I don't see your email address--if you will email me privately ([email protected]) I will send the prices. But you can go to the family tree DNA site and join the Pace group and I think the prices will come up. We have six DNA submissions from the William Pace-Ruth Lambert line. Unfortunately the lineage is disputed from there on back. The six donors cite three different "paths" back to Richard of Jamestown, none of them verified. If you go to the URL below and arrow down to the chart, you can see the Lambert submissions in the yellow area. You can click on the kit number and see what lineage they submitted. http://www.pacesociety.org/DNA/Group3.htm No one has absolute proof of descent from Richard of Jamestown but the circumstantial evidence is strong.
