For what it's worth I agree. I have been very part-time researching for the past several years. The way it is set up now has been so great for me and I have learned so much from all of you on how to follow my line. My John Edward Pace was born on May 30, 1890, near Dawson, Missouri. There are ALOT of John Pace's aren't there! >>> J Frazier <megeniegirl@yahoo.com> 01/21/10 6:03 PM >>> Just to maybe add a little to this conversation. When I started trying to do family researching my mother did not even know her grandparents 1st. names and only her brother thought he knew his grandmothers maiden name which turned out to be true. I totally agree with you Roy that the way it is set up now works great. I too have missed some of the info at times and went off looking for someone who did not match to our family tree but sometimes the individuals trying to find their lines just don't have much to give anyone yet. If we leave them out then we lose a wealth of information for them and possibly for us as well. Have a great day.

For PacePix I like name, date and place of birth and death, spouse if known, straight line Pace lineage as far back as known. I keep the donors page on the DNA site and the same goes for that. I don't know where we would publish this, and we don't want to discourage those who do not have these records. Some people submit queries who only know "John Pace born in 1890" for example, some might know the place. And where would these standards apply? We can hardly apply them to the mailing list, as new people are checking in all the time. What we usually do when they say "my ancestor is Abner Pace; does anyone have information" is to email them back and ask for more information. What do you think? Are you submitting DNA? What records do you have on your site? -----Original Message----- From: pace-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:pace-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of BRIAN PACE Sent: Thursday, January 21, 2010 9:15 AM To: pace@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [PACE] Naming conventions Roy: Do you think the Pace Society should establish a standard for naming?
