I am African American and do not celebrate Dixie Day either. That being said, I recognize and respect the choice of others who choose to celebrate it. We are still fighting the Civil War in Georgia, but this list is not the forum to debate the merits of either position. Could we please get back to exchanging genealogical information? Is that not the purpose of this particular LISTSERV? ListMom, where are you?????? Sylvia Ryce Cornell
