Florida born and raised here.
I live in Tennessee. I think of it as being less the southern part of the nation as the civilized part.
Born in New York and raised in California and Colorado–but now am in the Florida Panhandle (sometimes known as Lower Alabama.) 
North Carolina for me.

Neener! Neener! Neener! 
I’m here y’all!
Born in Virginia; raised in Alabama; schooled in Tennessee; found husband while in Florida; currently living in South Carolina. What’s “the North”?
Sounds like “the North” is every place you haven’t been to yet. 
(Well, there’s still some of “the South” you didn’t mention, too.)
Eldridge, population 200.
OK, you were right.
Say, VampyChick, reckon they’ll ever finish that Memphis-Birmingham road?
All right now, Southern brethren and sistren, we have got to get serious about this business of “stand up and be counted.”
If you haven’t taken the time to investigate Non-USA Dopers: Stand and be counted. Please., which I started last Monday at about this time of day, and which as grown to (last count) 215 posts over 5 pages, and counting, I encourage you to do so – especially posts #204-208 on Page 5. At least check out the posts in that thread by Antonius Block, who at my request has taken over management of the impressive database of non-USA Dopers and who has invented a utility for capturing the key data on those folks and incorporated his findings into that file.
At his last count (post #211) there are 244 Dopers being counted there.
I admitted to Antonius Block, as I am admitting to you, that I don’t have the technical skills nor the software on my computer to do what he has done to make that list as impressive as he has.
So I must rely on your help to get our Southern USA Dopers list up to that same level.
===============================================
How you can help:
Capture (copy/paste) from as recent a post as you can find for that Doper:
Member Name
Member Status
Join Date
Number of Posts
Location
and modify (if needed) the Location to refer to the actual state (must be Southern USA as defined in the OP of this thread).
==============================================
Example: (copy/paste from post in above-mentioned thread):
Yesterday, 11:31 AM #202 (this data is optional, but will help indicate how recent the data may be)
Zeldar Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 4,575 Location: Tennessee
===============================================
If you prefer to stick to your own state, or to limit your efforts to just those Dopers you know for sure where they live, that will be preferable to guesses or doubts.
I have a reasonable sense, based on location-specific threads, of some of the Tennessee people and will be trying to get that data on them. There are also a few others from The South I’m close enough to sure about to capture their data, too.
My summary file has, at present, 85 unique names. Let’s do what we can to catch up to and overtake the non-USA folks.
Thanks in advance for your help.
If this post isn’t clear, please ask questions.
I told you, Zeldar. The Search Function, she hates me.
You got to splain yoself, Ginger. How you mean “hate”?
You do know about the blue bar above where it says :
User CP Rules Subscribe FAQ Members List Calendar New Posts Search Quick Links Log Out
Left-Click on “Search” where the little upside-down triangle is and then left-click on “advanced search.”
Do you get that far before running into trouble? If so, splain yoself.
Here’s a first pass at adding some Tennessee people.
These I’m reasonably sure about:

and these are very suspicious, but I can’t be certain without feedback from those who may know better:

If you can assist in verifying (or disputing) any of these please do.
I’m going to add them to the summary file anyway and will modify or remove them there as needed.
Any more Tennesseeans?
I posted on 8/5 as a Tennessean, did you get me?
St. Germain is indeed a Tennessean.
Thanks for confirming and yes I got your name. Here’s where I have the Tennessee group at the moment:

I’ll post the entire summary after the page changes.
Born: Saigon (now Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam
Raised: Maryland
Recently Lived: Utah
Currently Reside: Houston, Texas.
You may be the “typical Southerner” these days!
I think of it as moving to increasingly right-wing political climates: communist Vietnam, to East Coast liberal Maryland, to Utah’s oddball Christian conservatism, to Texas, where they do like their BBQ and their Geezus.
