The Richard Ratcliff Book


With the help of many relatives, Clarence Ratcliff wrote a detailed book listing thousands of Ratcliff cousins and ancestors. That book, titled Richard Ratcliff of Lancashire, England and Talbot County, Maryland, is now out of print. However, it is available without cost from this page.  

The book is divided into ten segments plus an appendix. Clarence authored all but two of the sections--sections 1 and 10 were written by individuals who knew Clarence, and were added with his blessing.

This version of the book include revisions Clarence made after the last edition of the book was released in 1988. Revisions continue to be made where new information warrants it, subject to careful review by a seasoned colleague and friend of Clarence's, Ed Ratliff.
