Hi Debbie,
There is a Cuckfield web site
where you can post your family interests.
http://www.graydonwhite.freeserve.co.uk/
http://www.graydonwhite.freeserve.co.uk/cuckfield/GenealogyInterests.htm
to do this contact the webmaster
webmaster@graydonwhite.freeserve.co.uk
I checked the FamilySearch.org site for PACE, Cuckfield but none showed
up.
This site is not absolute. It is best to order the microfilm for
Cuckfield Holy Trinity Church through your local LDS Family History
Centre,
from Salt Lake City
I am strugglint with limited time available to learn more about the business
of DNA testing, which is quite complex. I just researched the following and
prepared it for posting on the Pace DNA page:
The John Pace line shows two sharply different lines of descent, with
remarkable consistency among three of the four submitters. According to
FTDNA, markers 4, 5, and 6 in group 2 are extremely unique and indicate a
high degree of probability of a close relationship, and also divide this
group sharply from th
Does anyone know anything about a CAMANTHA PACE, who married a Starling
in Johnston Co.,NC around early 1800s. A lady has contacted me and I
quote her message below.
"A man by the name of Gerald Starling, whom I had been trying to contact
about the Starlings, called and said that he had info. about Camantha
Pace and that she was the daughter of John Pace s/o James s/o Richard. I
looked through the line of the previous John Pace and couldn't find a
John whose father was James, and his father was Richar
You mean we can assume that not only is Chanco also a Spanish
name but also that several of "Pocahantas' People" were named
the same as our Pace's Paines' Chanco? Laura Pace Crane

Thank you so much for checking this for me.
One more question and I'll leave you alone: does the letter identify Horne "in Alabama", of just "Horne"?
Thank you again.

While browsing the Internet, I did a search on "Chanco" (it's a Spanish name
also; lots of spaniards named that) and came up with a suburb of
Williamsburg called "Chanco's Grant." That intrigued me and I emailed the
webmaster asking if it had anything historically to do with Chanco. The
webmaster put me in contact with local historians and I got this answer from
one of them:
I'm sorry to disappoint you but the Chanco's Grant subdivision has nothing
whatsoever to do with Chanco's being associated with the

A wonderful opportunity for those of you who live in North Carolina.
If you go to this web site, you will find the announcement of a workshop
by Margaret M. Hofmann, premier historian and genealogical researcher.
The workshop will be Saturday, June 7th, in Smithfield, NC. I know this
researcher will be well worth the $15 fee (includes lunch). I know that
she has a web site, but I have lost the URL.

[http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gensoup/pacewill/index.html]
I have added larger images with links at the bottom of the main page
(above).
The images on the main page are reduced to 25% of the original size;
these new images are reduced only to 50% so they are easier to read.
Be advised that they are large files.

(1) the connection between the Indian name Chanco and the Spanish name
Chanco is probably just coincidence. The only possible connection is that
the Indian chief Opecanchanough is widely believed to have been taken to
Spain and to have studied there with the Jesuits and Dominicans.
(2) The title "Pocahontas's People" refers to the Indian tribe of which she
was a member. Chanco was a member of that tribe, so he is one of
"Pocahontas's People." There is no intended implication that there are
others named C
Ouch! I was horrified today to realize that I had disseminated erroneous genealogical data in my first-ever message to the Pace-L mailing list! I am NOT the g.-g.-g.-g.-g.-g.-grandson of Richard Pace and Isabella Smyth, but of Thomas and Amy Pace. My sincere apologies, and my sincere thanks for the very interesting responses which have already come in and to which I will personally respond as soon as possible ( or as soon as my embarrassment wears off!) Seriously though, this does lead me to ask who is the
Hello. My name is James M. Doherty. I am a g.-g.-g.-g.-g.-g.-grandson of Richard Pace and Isabella Smyth. There's a lot of history contained in the 13-plus generations of the Pace family in America! I am new to this mailing list and have been enjoying reading the diverse things its members have to say. I've been particularly enjoying hearing about Chanco and Pace's Paines-parts of our family history which I'm sure interest us all. I admire that this mailing list seems quite active. And I particularly like

Here's another interesting answer to my query about "Chanco's Grant"
It's an ironic and small world that you should contact me because the Pace's
Paines historic highway was in the front yard of the house my wife and I
restored in Surry County. Confused visitors would unsuccessfully search the
countryside for the 17th century site, then, invariably, would return to
photograph our 1811 house with the marker. We met many of your "cousins"
during the years we lived there.
Martha McCartney has already told
Well, after mostly just soaking in what others have had to say on this list,
I get the impression that both are important--documentation and information
about the individual's character and personality. However, I have sensed
that what some of the more experienced folks are saying is that without
documentation, you can't be too sure of the validity of your information.
And without the validity, the more personalized info could be meaningless
and fictional. Yes?

Not at all. When I do family history, it is history first and "dead
ancestors" second. I did a history of my wife's Schnake family, with lots
of translations of what life was like in Germany, the trip, the people, etc.
Of course, I could not learn much about the character of people who lived
that long ago, but I could figure out a lot. I did a 129 page book of her
family; pages 69-85 was "Ancestors and Descendents of Karl Ludwig Hermann
Schnake" -- the rest was stories and history. There were 28 pages of
Well, I was astounded to find this info...I've been following these emails
for the past year or so, but never recognized for certain some of the names.
I saw this, and I KNOW that I am related to these gentlemen!! My Grandfather
drove my brother and I through Louisville and showed us where he grew up. He
took us past that gas station, too! I was very young, but I think it may
have been Babe's funeral we were there for. I believe that Babe was my
Grandfather's (Joseph Pace) youngest brother. I
She is listed on the Fluvanna Death Register as being a
Mary Pace, age 71, died Nov.29,1884 of Asthma,
death reported by her brother,giving her parents as
Tom & Sarah Marrs.
Would like more information on Mary, her brother and
her parents. What Pace could she have been married
to?
In a perfect world, we would all have the "stories" that would let us
personally feel that we knew our ancestors. The feelings that they had
during hardships and wars, etc. Unfortunately, I deal with what I can
get. With records, letters and certain published events, we can draw an
outline of a story. Without a living source to explain everything, it is
mostly supposition. Personally, I will take what ever I can get.
My legacy... I write down stories my grandparents told me and stories
of my life so
