It is if you're using it correctly. Southerners are familiar with the pronoun "you."

Is this a Southern thing?

Typically, I think of "and them" as a family type unit. i.e., "How's your mama and them?" when asking after someone's family.

So glad your daughter enjoyed her first year south of the Mason-Dixon line, Sciencewoman!
