Hello,
I came across your reply to a CATTO from Brazil who had Italian parents. Your reply was
of great interest to me because I am a CATTO too and my ancestors came from Aberdeen and
were always in the shipping industry from making ropes through to merchants and ship
builders. I have researched that our family tree so far - dates back to the late
1600's in the Aberdeen area and it was only in 1800's that the CATTO's moved
down to Liverpool and continued their shipping connections. What struck me in particular
about the possible Italian connection with our family lineage is that many CATTOs of my
family actually look Italian - dark hair and very easily tan - whereas The other side of
the CATTOs have a more Celtic look with red hair and fair skin etc. It is a helpful clue
that you left your reply with the name Indelicatto as a possible connection to the name
CATTO . Many thanks and best wishes, Charlotte
