It has been several years since I participated in the List, only because I was winding down. Contacts made on this list were invaluable to me when I first began to trace my great, great, grandfather, Burrell Verner Pace. If any of you reading this were involved in helping--THANKS YET AGAIN! I continued tracing descendants of each of the children of Burrell Verner and Hannah Hardin Pace. Of most concern was the family descending from the only son, Dock Carter Pace. He had a large family, mostly girls, and I was hoping to find a male who carried the surname--just because--but also for possible DNA participation. I did find one, but he was elderly and fragile. Significantly, his name was Burrell Verner Pace III. At that point, I closed my folders, satisfied that I had done all possible. Yesterday I got an email from Val Tice telling me that a new applicant for the Pace Society was a Pace in my line! He asked permission to pass on my email. What a wonderful experience! My newly found cousin--whose existence I did not know--is a grandson of Dock Pace. He has memories and pictures I never hoped to know--and I have memories and pictures to share with him. We spoke by phone for over two hours this morning. He is a delightful person to talk to (aren't all Pace descendants?) and we have the same alma mater--Auburn University. This is not contributing to our statistics--but it is a little gem to add to our stories. Thanks for listening! Jeanne Park
