I have been told that it originated in France as the Ratas were Huguenots and when they were persecuted they fled and my particular branch of the family came to England. I have recently started to do quite a bit of work on this. What is your connection may I ask?<br> 2002-06-24 15:52:46Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.rata/4/mb.ashx
