About the family coat-of-arms
Origin of Drabkin name
The last name Drabkin (Drabkind, Drapkin, Drapkind) came from the Yiddish word drabke ("drabki" in Belorussian-Jewish) that means a careless, untidy woman. From the beginning of the XIX century this name occurs in such towns of the Russian empire as Vitebsk, Samara, Orsha, Smolovichi, Bobruisk, Ponevezh, Gomel, Mogilev, Nevel and many others...
In the beginning of the XX century a large number of the clan members, searching for better life, left the Russian empire and moved to the USA. During the World War II, some of the family members found themselves in evacuation in Uzbekistan.
It should be noted that one of the most famous and respected members of the clan is a rabbi and a social figure named Abraham son of Not Drabkin who was born in 1844 in Mogilev on Dnepr and who worked as a Saint-Petersbourg rabbi during the long term of thirty years.

We would like to invite you to help us ressurect the history of your family, to link up the branches of your family tree and to find relatives abroad. Among Jews, due to the manner in which family names were acquired and passed down, there are relatively few people who, although unrelated, bear the same surname as one another. The majority of Jewish people who bear a certain family name can usually trace their roots back to a common ancestor about 5-6 generations back. Further, when two Jewish people bear the same surname, they are usually members of the same broader 'clan', descended of the same extended family.Resurrect your History - for he, who owns the Past also owns the Future.
