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. The signup page for DNA submissions is here: http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_det.aspx?group=Pace Roy Johnson DNA coordinator -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jon Pace Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 11:32 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [PACE] Introduction & open question Hi, my name's Jon Pace. I'm new to the list and a complete ancestry research novice. I got interested in my family heritage after receiving copies of research compiled by a deceased aunt. Her name was Georgia Pace Redmond (my father's sister) and I'm told she spent a good deal of time investigating & documenting Pace history in my childhood. While I have the results of her work, I don't have many references to original sources. What follows is the initial part of the list I received, including any known documentation. Please correct anything I post that's been proven incorrect. I'm interested in accuracy, and would appreciate anything anyone can add to help me confirm, correct or expand the list. I also have NO CLUE how to begin researching the gaps. Pointers to good educational materials would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jon p.s. Would I benefit anyone by sending my DNA in without a better knowledge of my tree? Jonathan Bryan Pace (myself) born 5-Jan-1967 in Nashville, Davidson Co., TN married Christy on 18-Aug-1989 Alzo Bryan Pace Jr. (my father, documented from my mother) born 25-Mar-1928 died 18-Mar-1992 in New Johnsonville, Humphreys Co., TN married Joyce Cantrell on 22-Sep-1957 Alzo Bryan Pace Sr. (documented from my aunt's Batton-Pace family Bible) born 15-Mar-1896 died 15-Nov-1967 married Eunice Gertrude Etheridge on 16-Jun-1918 William Wesley Pace (documented from my aunt's Batton-Pace family Bible) born 12-Apr-1856 died 20-Sep-1935 married Georgia Miller on 7-Dec-1879 John Pace (my aunt's records, no references cited) born ~1836 died 5-Jan-1865 married Minerva Jane Batton ~1855 Isaac Pace (my aunt's records, no references cited) born ~1798 died ~1850 married Rachel Baggett ~1829 William Pace (my aunt's records, no references cited) born ~1750 died ~1834 married Ruth Lambert ~1771 She lists lineage back to Richard Pace of Jamestown, but I'm seeing different paths and I have no further record of cited sources. I don't know if she researched them herself, gathered them from Pace Society Bulletins, or a combination of both. Any pointers are appreciated.
