I thank all of those who came to my defense, but I really don't think the person who made that post intended to attack me. It was just his unique way of wording things. I responded offline in a friendly manner, and we now have a good private thread going about our common John of M ancestry. There's an old Ozark saying--"You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar." Roy

Sometimes I think that I am following a thread, but then I realize that I've missed something. I hope that my earlier post was complimentary to the DNA page, as I think that it is very well done, but I didn't really know that I was defending anyone as I didn't realize that anyone was being attacked. I thought that I was in a discussion about the merits of genetic genealogy in general and the Pace yDNA project specifically. There was a post that seemed to be disparaging the value of the yDNA project. I didn't agree and entered a contrary opinion. I wasn't aware of any attacking or defending going on - I thought that it was a simple discussion about the general merits of DNA in genealogy research. Joe Anderson

My mother was the Pace, and I have one living Uncle, and as far as I know only two other living males in my direct line. I might be able to find some of children or grandchildren, even great grandchildren of my grandfather's brothers , but I haven't had the time to try and find those relatives, and as far as I know none of them are into genealogy. I did see an email on a mailing list from an Arleta Howe Date: February 28, 2002 at 05:57:50 who indicated that she was in the same line, and hunting children of my Uncle Henry who died in 1971 and I do know that two of his three boys are dead. I have tried to convince my living uncle and his son to do a DNA test, but so far I have not been able to do so. This would help me prove who was the father, and grandfather of Benjamin Pace, born 1801 in VA and died in 1859 in Edmonson County Kentucky.
