Hello, Jon Pace. My name is Jon Pace also. My name is also Jonathan Pace. We almost share the same birthday. Mine is January 7th!! I don't have much to add to your Aunt's work which you show but I am sending some information directly to you that I found very quickly that confirms some of her work. Although I can't be much help to you I am certainly encouraged that a young person such as yourself is interested in PACE family history. I also heartily approve of your caution and your approach. Good luck in your search!

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?

I don't know if she researched them herself, gathered them from Pace Society Bulletins, or a combination of both. Any pointers are appreciated.
