I am trying to determine why you list this message, when one has inquired about someone to help determine the results of DNA tests for The Ratliff Family. How does it pertain to the question that was asked? Just do some research, and see the many lines that come into the Ratliff line.
Many of our ancestors came from mixed nationalities...there are English, Scottish, Irish, and many other, including Native Americans in the Ratliff DNA. And of course, you have French among the notables listed in the very early Redcliff/Ratcliffe/Radclyffe/Ratliff and other derivations of the surname.
