Thanks, Rebecca. That is the conclusion I reached. It would not help this person realize the objective of learning which original Pace line he belongs to, which is why I withdrew the request, but there are other benefits. I have the funding offered. I will set it up. This will take some time due to two factors. The first is that this lady does not have a computer and gets her email at the public library, and I think she doesn't check it often. I have her mailing address but phone is apparently unlisted. I will write and ask for her phone numter. The second is my currently limited computer acdess. I am away from my main computer helping my wife take care ofher mother. We are up often ad night to take care of her needs. I usually can squeeze in some time every couple orthree days to do my computer work. The dial-up connection from this rural area is fairly good. We'll get this wolling.

It is just a "young" Pace line of 150 years. Testing this line can be informative for any person who may be a descendant of McDaniel Pace or Zilpha Pace. The test results may also help verify the father's name as the results should match DNA results of the reported father's line. As the proposed participant is the last of this line and has not had good health in the past, it would be prudent to have the line tested sooner rather than later which may be too late. If the funding is not available for DNA testing, another option is DNA testing through the Sorensen Foundation (SMGF) http://smgf.org/ which is free - but there is a long wait for the test results as it is not a commercial company. The results are not sent to the participant but become part of the database which is now searchable by surname. Also, there is currently a coupon available for participants in the SMGF database for testing at Relative Genetics for a reduced price for 26 markers. FTDNA also has a discounted price on tests through the end of December. Just some other alternatives.
