What is the meaning of the preposition "с" when followed by a dative?
Examples I've found on the web:
Здесь лежат, лежат с Дону герои
Казак с роду - казак с Дону
Трансферы с Москве
Ванька с Питеру приехал
Is it a dialect? does it belong to a certain register?
Search from various English teachers...

As far as I remember, it's a southern dialect. The meaning is the same as in "c + obj. in gen.".

Hello, this is not really a dative.
"казак с Дону" equals "казак с Дона", "Дону" is used here to emphasize the obsolescense to resemble old-russian dialect or rural dialect
So, "казак с Дону" means "cossak, who was born or have lived in Don-river vicinity"

Yeah, it's a southern dialect. My grandparents speak like this. And this is not really a dative. Just pronounce "с" instead of "из".
