In Memoriam and Honour of our proud Southern Ancestors
This page has been created as a sort of Confederate Veteran's Wall, so to speak. It started as a page for Paulding Countian's, but I have decided it should be for all those who want to honor and remember thier Confederate Ancestors. If you would like to add your ancestors to the "Wall", then please email me at Dixiemom and give me the information and I will add them here. Also please include your name and information so that I may let the world know that they are your ancestors. If you have the regiment information that they served in, please include that also. If you would like to visit my ancestors then you can go to My Ancestor's.
If we don't remember the fight that they fought and the courage that they displayed, then who will ??
Please allow the song clip to load, I think it was perfect for this page and if you like it, it is the "Rebelaires" a new group. You can find info about them at The Rebelaires.
