SURNAMES related to PACE of the Midlands of England Click On: http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/records/index.htm For many years I've collected PACE records from the LDS site and collected in 'My Documents' folders, designated as to various SHROPSHIRE surnames that married into PACE Families of Shropshire, 1600's, 1700's, 1800's. These inter-marriages were a definite help for me to learn more about my PACE ancestors which seemed rather elusive, in my early research. My GEORGE PACE b 1670 at Prees, Shropshire, father JOSEPH, did not seem to fit into any other PACE family that I'd collected records of, as I went along with my research. I had to look harder and collect more data, making me more determined than ever. many of you have experienced the same thing, I'm sure of that. I began to look at other local Shropshire parish registers on the LDS site and collected all PACE records I could find. The JOSEPH PACE father did seem to show up in Wellington, High Ercall, Wrockwardine, at the appropriate dates to look logical to be father of my GEORGE PACE - 6X great grandfather. It is fortunate that PACE is not that common a name in Shropshire, making it rather obvious, to place JOSEPH in this PACE family, mainly due to the absence of any other JOSEPH/JOSHUA or however spelling was recorded in these adjacent parishes, in Shropshire. Having said this, little did I know that some of these names must have emmigrated and also showed up with the PACE name in the new colonies of Britain, wherever, in the world of exploration and settlement. I hope some of you may see some familiar names, in America, Australia, or elsewhere, were the PACE name showed up. The PACE name was not just from England, There were Paces in Malta, Italy, Albania. Britain had a naval base at Valetta, Malta for about 200 years. Many Maltese PACE folk were with the British Merchant Marine Service and settled far and wide also. The study of the PACE name in the world is a fascinating subject. I hope you can enjoy and use some of these files and pages I've put together. They will be added to, from time to time, as people write to me, and send me their info, which makes it all fit together, as we learn more. http://www.phc.igs.net/~gordpace/records/index.htm GTPace - Canada
