I want to find the records from what was Krasilow, Russia (now the Ukraine) and find even earlier relatives, if possible. Since I don't speak Russian, I would like to find these records in English. Rootsweb and Ancesty.com have been of limited help with this. Thanks!

A popular myth is that records from eastern Europe were destoyed in the war. Luckily, most of the records survived the two world wars. Unfortunately, none are in English. Most likely, the records will be in Russian.
If the village you're talking about is Krasilov, Khmel’nyts’kyy, Ukraine, check a gazeteer such as the "Slownik Geograficny Krolestwa Polskiego" and find out where the parish church or synagogue was located. Once you find the name of the village where the church or synagogue was located, you can check the Family History Library catalog online and see if the records have been microfilmed.

Jonathan, sorry yet that is a humorous question... its no longer the muslims who immigrated to Palestine, Palestinians, locals dwelling in that Land are greater often than not muslims, christians and there have been a small jewish Minority. Jewish human beings from world huge , Europe, Russia and different international locations immigrated to what's called now Land of Israel after the British promised to make certain a jewish land interior the ME.

Krasyliv is probably the modern Ukrainian name of Krasilow:

Online geneaology websites have very limited information about Eastern Europe. Any records that exist (if they exist) almost certainly have not been translated into English. I'm afraid your best option would be either to find someone who lives there now and hire them to do research for you (try contacting a local University) or visit the place yourself. Good luck!

That's going to be tough since WW2 destroyed so much in that area.
You may want to search for your family name in the phone directories in that area and try to contact a relative as a starting point.
