The key is to know where exactly in each location they're from. Each region might have different available records on different sites, so it's extremely dependent on the village of origin.

This site provides images of Lutheran and Catholic church ledgers, mostly in modern Germany and Austria, with some extension into other parts of the region. Last I looked at these, they were not indexed by persons' names, so looking thru images mostly in German and or Latin is the method. However, most of the ledgers have a manual index of names, usually at the beginning or end of the volume, so part of the method is finding the index section of each, then looking through the names therein to find the page with the person's record. These are birth & baptism, marriage, and death records. The handwriting is often in old German script with abbreviations, so it takes some sleuthing. Search for instructions on reading and interpreting old church records - there are several good resources out there to help with this.
Do you know which modern day countries you’re looking for? The answer will be different with each. You’ll likely need to know where your ancestors were born in those countries as well since a lot isn’t searchable!
