I am a Ralph, and our line of the family came from Cornwall and Wales. It is said by family members that the darker skin we have is from the Welsh blood. My line is Ralph and Dorr and my family settled in the Wisconsin area. My great-great grandfather founded the towns of Antigo and Elcho, Wisconsin. The Dorr house in Antigo still stands to this day and from what I understand, it is quite the landmark. Karen Ralph Barnett
