Cousin Roy IF you will note I STATED that no doubt D. N. A. Serves a Purpose. What bothers me is the <UO-AH-UR> That every time I see a question asked: NOW; That <UO-AH-UR> is the noise an expert Makes when the Expert Finds Both Feet in their Mouth. It would seem, now that the D. N. A. is showing that OUR Middlesex Pace's; < Of which I Descend> & the Pace's Of Cann: Are Connected. To find more proof of connection the point to Look would be the Port from which The two Groups of Pace's Boarded their Ship, Of Course<??> They could have come over on the Same Ship, BUT, as OUR John Pace Family Settled in Middlesex County Va & Gordon Pace's Family Wound up in Cann. More than Likely they were on Different BOATS. I found My Connection to the Pace's in Middlesex County Va Some time ago Marrying into the Johnson Family & that information has Satisfied My Close Cousins & I. From Middlesex County, Va to Goochland, Albemarle, Amherst & Nelson County, Va. on down here to Richmond, Va. OUR Johnson's with Pace Connection's are Very well Recorded from Middlesex County To Here, West Va. & Pa. Col. Fla. To the American Embassy in Mexico, Along with one of the Johnson's being I.D.ed By the Nick Name of LYING WILL Johnson, He was the Brother to one of my Grt Grand Mother's. YOUR/THE D. N. A. being used to <Disprove> SEEMS right expensive & a FER piece to go to Come up with MOTHING In disproving a Family Connection to some BOZO that one would not Care to Know, Let alone Be Related too. THAT is ABT like; I check the OBITS each Night in Roanoke & Lynchburg Va. < OH I did locate a Sister of my Wife's Last year that has worked out Fine> BUT I find Name that Match Some of My Families, & learn that they are of another RACE, by Checking the Funeral Home. ONE question: I see abt there Being so many Generation's in 3 or 500 Years_____????. TAKE Daniel Johnson M To Agnes in Middlesex Co Va. 1674,--?? five Generations Latter, To George Rodney Johnson, <MY 2nd Grt Grand Father> Born in 1819 = 145 Years, THEN Rodney's Dau, Born in 1859 five Generations To My Son Born in 1945 = 86 Years, From My Mother B. in 1906 to my Grt Grand Daughter Born in 1986 = 80 YEARS/ NOW there are 12 Generation's in 340 YEARS A bit Better than 28 years to the Generation; 28 Years to the Generation, 500 Years would be ABT 17 Generations, NOW realy Just how Many Family Records does any one Believe go That Far, < NOTE; I SAID <Just How MANY Family Records go that Far. YES, I Know that I have one Family Research that Claims to go to 435 B. C. While I am flabbergasted to Go back to 1650 in that Family, Which is very well PROVEN. SO Johnson, Pace, Newsome, Houchens AND Allen Scott Monroe who ever he maybe, THANKS for all of the effort and please Keep me informed as to Family information obtained From where & How.
