Through the National Geographic Study, we now have the first Italian Pace in our DNA study. Not surprisingly, there was no match with any of our Paces, but interestingly, the haplotype was I, the same as the John of Middlesex haplotype. This implies northern European or Viking origins. This is not surprising, as there was a thriving Norman kingdom in southern Italy/Sicily in the middle ages. I had earlier information that Italian genealogists believed the Pace name there to be of Norman origin, which is doubly interesting as we have some indication that the English Pace name might be of Norman origin, although this is not proven. I have added this entry with the other non-matching Paces, but eventually, I would like to separate out the Italian Paces and hopefully get more entries. Roy Johnson
