Dottie Maxey Dewberry has written an article about her childhood memories of games we played as kids.

I think you will all enjoy reading it, as well. http://www.lowndesmsgenealogy.org/Dottie_Maxey_Dewberry_Memories_of_Games_We_Played_as_Children.html I welcome submissions such as this, to be posted on my websites so that our children, grandchildren, and so on, will know what life was life as we were growing up.

Thanks for the lookup. Robert was in Walker County, GA where he would have served and moved to Monroe County, MS after the war. He married in Itawamba County, MS in 1972 and is on the Monroe County, MS census for 1870. He died between 1876-1880. He marred Martha Elizabeth Branch and had three children: Mary Alice Holland who married Ira Green Walden, Emma Lou Holland who married Charles Asbery Parham and Minnie Lee Holland who married Thompson Greenwood Dilworth. I know some of these families are in the book. Just can't remember who told me he was in the book regarding his service.

And while you contact and/or complain to Ancestry, give them your opinion of how carelessly they respond to their clientele. If enough of us stop subscribing, maybe they will learn to appreciate our business. I also think the Better Business Bureau should be alerted to the way Ancestry is using their methods of selling subscription and the way they falsely advertise the value of their various subscriptions. It is more frequent these days that one can obtain the same information from FREE databases. Its about time Ancestry becomes aware of this.
