NEWS AND*********************NOTES ON OTHER PUBLICATIONS PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY,Mrs. Eleanor Watson, Editor, P.O.Box 819, Bowie, Md. 20715, Monthly, Society Membership $5.00; subscription $2.00. March 1971: Mr. George Ely Russell's list of springboard ancestors for patriotic lineage societies fails to mention two of equal importance. Mr. Russell needs to be informed that the United Daughters and Sons of the Confederacy and the James town Society are patriotic organizations on a par with his chosen Mayflower Descendants and Union Soldiers in the Rebellion of 1861-65. Many Southerners will challenge his list as being either so biased that he cannot recognize the service of our ancestors or he is so indifferent to them that he failed to mention them.
