The Karaim community in Lutsk appears to have been widely dispersed in the 19th century and beginning of the 20th, with its members living not only in the town of Lutsk and its surroundings, but also in relatively distant villages and farmsteads. A list of the settlements where Karaims once resided was published in 1933 by Aleksander Mardkowicz.
It contains 40 names that the Karaim activist found in old documents. Among those documents there are five 19th and 20th century Karaim letters in Hebrew script edited by Németh and a list - still unpublished - of community members living outside Lutsk around 1845.
However, those documents include a few toponyms not registered by Mardkowicz. The presence of Karaims in numerous villages and farmsteads is also recorded in public records from 1871-1914.
Based on the data from the death register the number of villages with Karaim inhabitants should be increased up to 80. The paper discusses the above-mentioned sources and their use in creating not only an exact map of Karaim settlements around Lutsk, but also in tracing family relations and migrations of the Lutsk Karaim population.
