DNA results are in for Darren Pace, who submits the lineage at the end of this document. Sorry about the format but I think it is legible. The puzzling thing is that Darren does not match any other Paces in the database. I have not uploaded the results yet, as I am in the country 300 miles from my home, and the upload is very slow from my modem connection here. Since the results are a complete non-match (6 or 7 alleles different out of 25, some by a genetic distance of 2), it is less important to post it now. What is important is to help Darren sort out the mystery, and perhaps some of you may help. Maybe you know something about this purported lineage. Can anyone spot a glitch? It obviously cannot be correct. I have been saying that a mismatch could be due to three things-unknown Pace line, unreported adoption, or illegitimacy. But I forgot a fourth thing: A name change, such as Pass-Pace, Pees-Pace, or several of the spellings that I encountered in England which may or may not be related to our Pace name: Paise, Payce, Paice, etc. I don't know if Darren monitors this list, so please copy to him at darren@paceroots.com Roy Johnson DNA coordinator 0.
