Denisha, Welcome to the Pace List! We will try to help you find sources and clues for your lineage. Bob is correct, we need a few more things from you to help. Without having you give us private information on your relatives that are currently living, would your Aunt or your birth dad have been alive in 1930? If so, do you mind giving us the age they might have been (your aunt's first name, is it this Verna you mentioned)? If so, we can look on the 1930 census for Paces that match their names and ages to see who their parent were. We will also need a state to locate them. If you have their place of birth (city & state), that would be even better. If they are too young to have been on the 1930 census, some of us have subscriptions to newspaper archives and other on-line sources. We can try those too. Unfortunately, there is still only a small portion of newspapers on-line but we can direct you to other off-line sources where you might find the information you need. Since you are also adopted, check the state laws where you were adopted. Many states are starting to "unlock" these closed files because of medical history and other variables. It never hurts to check. Kim Stracener Zapalac
