This is still a Pace line - it is just that the Pace male line begins with McDaniel Pace born 1855. 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.
