==Italian ancestry debate==
Some historians have debated whether or not Paca has a heritage traced to Italy.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=3CVFlliPvqEC&pg=PA23 Italian Immigrants]</ref> The last name of Paca, according to one of his descendants, would have been spelled Pacci in the old world. The oldest claim goes back to 1911, by Cardinal James Gibbons of Baltimore, who also believed that the Italian family name would have been Pecci.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=TN9DbJ8jRI4C&pg=PA202 An Archaeological Evolution], by Stanley South</ref>
