I just attended the Ratts Reunion in Georgia for 2003 and had a wonderful
time. The core group of Ratts relatives are from a common ancestor John Nelson
Ratts 1851-1928 but we are all related to Godfried Ratz and Margaret Swicegood
1746/47-1806. I am working on a book to be released at the 2005 reunion. I am
looking for stories and facts on the Ratts family.
This reunion, 2005 will be held in Salem Indiana, the home place for many of
the Ratts kin. If you would be interested in attending this or any other
Ratts reunion please let me know. We will have an Indiana picnic, something that
I remember from my early years in Lynn Indiana and many tours to cemeteries
and home places.
Any information on the Diehl's race track in the early 20's near Salem would
be helpful (i will post this in a Diehl message)
