FOUNDED August 3, 1963 by
NOBLE HAMILTON PACE of Columbus, Mississippi through his untiring efforts with encouragement and assistance of Miss MABLE PAVEY a staunch supporter of the PACE SOCIETY

FIRST MEETINGS of PACE SOCIETY were held in MISSISSIPPI in the home of NOBLE PACE after which during the first ten years, two meetings were held in WILLIAMSBURG Virginia and one each in CHARLESTON, South Carolina, BILOXI, Mississippi, RALEIGH, North Carolina, ATLANTA, Georgia; ST. LOUIS, Missouri.

The SOCIETY's PURPOSE shall be to promote the science of genealogy as it concerns the PACE Family in America and elsewhere in the world.

This shall be achieved through educational and research programs and projects which discover, preserve, produce and publish genealogical and historical information on the PACE family.

In 1967 TWO MAIN OBJECTIVES WERE ADOPTED

• one was to publish a BULLETIN - quarterly newsbooklet in an effort to assemble data on earlier PACES and transmit it to MEMBERS,
• the other was to provide a means of bringing present day cousins together by means of an ANNUAL MEETING or FAMILY REUNION

I attended my first reunion at HENDERSONVILLE, North Carolina (1999)

There is something very special about walking into a room full of people who you have never seen before and being treated like family. Then, too, is the special pleasure of meeting and getting to know all the people who have built the Society and kept in running and to finally attach a face to the name.

I was very surprised to find that the membership has a good mixture of age groups. I'm making plans to attend the reunion next year in Williamsburg VA and hope to take most of my family with me.

My final impression about this and other reunions is that we need these meeting more than we know. Just as we need to attend our local genealogical society monthly meetings. Most of us labor in isolation. We spend too much time in libraries, archives or our basement offices. Our immediate family does not understand or appreciate our love of history in general much less our propensity to spend more time with the dead than with them.

At least once a year we need to get together, to just to be together. While we can tour and meet and share new information, I believe the most important benefit is just being together.

I hope to see you next year in Salt Lake City.

It is our good fortune to belong to one of the oldest families in the UNITED STATES and we can be proud of the fact that the PACES played a part in the founding and development of this nation.
