Radomyshl is a Ukrainian town that lies between Kyiv and Zhytomyr on the Teteriv River. During the Russian Empire, it was known as Radomyl' and served as the capital of the Radomysl uezd in the Kiev Governorate. It was once home to a large and thriving Jewish community, with 7,502 Jews, 67% of the population, once calling it home. While the Jewish population declined during the interwar period under the Soviet Union and was decimated during the Holocaust by Nazi Germany, a small Jewish population remained in the city to the present day.
Unfortunately, the Radomyshl vital records (births, marriages, and deaths) were all burned in a fire in 1926.
Fortunately, other types of Radomyshl records have survived, many of them available online as scans or on JewishGen's database. This includes revision lists dating back to 1795 as well as the 1897 Russian census.
Ever since 1946, it's been called Radomyshl. But before then, it was known as Radomysl'. Confusingly, there are also two other towns called Radomyśl, both previously in the Austro-Hungarian province of Galicia and today part of Poland:
Radomyśl nad Sanem, located 45 miles north of Rzeszów.
Radomyśl Wielki, Poland, located 18 miles northeast of Tarnów.
So if you try to research Radomyshl, be aware that the records might list the town as Radomysl and that references to Radomysl might not refer to "our" Radomyshl.
For the sake of consistency, the town will be referred to as Radomyshl in the KehilaLinks page.
