I had Ratto relatives near Jackson (Clinton), CA a long time ago. There were 4-5 Ratto siblings, including Francesco (my great-grandfather, 1861-1929), Baciccia (Giambattista?), Catherine (Catarina?), Rose (Rosa?), and John (Giovanni?). They were all born in Coreglia, Italy (near Genoa). Do you know of any of these?
