Origin of Dragatski name
The name Dragatski (Dragatsky, Dragatskij, Drogatskij, Dragatser, Dragutsky and others) came from the name of the shtetl Dragats or Dragatse located in Kovno region. This name occurs predominantly in Lithuania and Latvia.
First mentionings of people having this name are encountered in the first half of the 19-th century in Kovno and Vilno gubernias. Based on the concentration of places of residence of the Dragatski family at that time, it may be assumed that one talks either about one big family or several related families who left Dragats in the end of the 18-th - begining of the 19-th centuries.

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.
