If you go to http://www.castlegarden.org/help.html and do a search on Pace immigrants through Castle Garden (1820-1913), the first 860 out of 892 results for Pace immigrants to the US were Italians. The Italian Pace immigrants arrived at Castle Garden generally during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Rebecca

I am interested in those NOT of Italian origin. This shows that there are scads of Paces here who are not from our main two lines. These are mostly recent enough arrivals that their descendents should know who they are, if they have done any genealogy at all. I am surprised that we do not have more of them in the Pace Society and/or submitting DNA samples. Their DNA as recent immigrants would be of immense value to us; it would serve the same purpose as DNA from current UK residents. I was interested to note that there were a couple from Ireland and one from Switzerland--maybe the Italian part but who knows? Also, some may have just been on a trip and went back, such as "Mr. R. C. Pace, Gentleman". I copied all of these Paces to a Word document and saved it for future reference.
