Thank you for all the helpful pointers. I'll dig into the suggested resources.
Regarding https://czernowitz.geneasearch.net/, does it fully index the FamilySearch set "Metrical books, 1856-1940"? I used the index to successfully find some records on FamilySearch, but it wasn't clear whether the indexing effort had completed.
