Why didn't I think of this? I just got an email suggesting a DNA test in the Pace DNA study. The DNA study uses the Y chromosome to trace a surname, which is passed only male to male, so it must be a Pace male to take the test. Jocelyn, do you have a brother or uncle who could do the test? You can read about it at http://www.pacesociety.org.DNA/ and email me if you have more questions. If funding is a problem, there is usually help available. The results would not give specific ancestors but should tell which general line of Paces you are in and who else in the study is related to you.
