Alternative Sources
I am interested in looking at records for the following.
- Evangelische Kirche Neudorf bei Vinkovcze (Slavonien) FamilySearch Catalog: Kirchenbuch, 1831-1944 — FamilySearch.org
- Evangelische Kirche Alt Keer (Batschka) FamilySearch Catalog: Kirchenbuch, 1849-1944 — FamilySearch.org
The records are on microfilm but are not available through the Familysearch look up service because of restrictions. Other than paying to access them through Archion.de, are there any other sources for these records?
I am also interested in
- Evangelische Kirche Vinkovcze (Slavonien) FamilySearch Catalog: Kirchenbuch, 1832-1944 — FamilySearch.org
Thanks

Other than traveling to the Family History Library, sending a friend to the FHL to browse the records for you, or paying to access the records through Archion.de, the only other option I can think of is to write to the archives (the archives FamilySearch got the records from are usually listed in the Notes section of the Catalog listing); that's usually a long and tedious process, though, and will quickly become much more expensive than using Archion, so I definitely recommend using Archion instead.
The Archion shop page (viewable after creating a login) shows various length options, including 1 month (20 Euro), 3 months, and 1 year. If you gather a thorough look-up list before getting a subscription, the 1-month pass might be enough to get you through your list.

A note of caution, the source for most if not all of Batschka (and potentially Slavonija) microfiche is the Archbishopric in Kalocsa, Hungary. These were handwritten copies of the original books which are housed in local archives, and the handwritten copies have been (at least in our limited circumstances) wrong on a couple entries. In addition to the local archives, at times there are family books compiled by Donau-Schwabischen descendants that have transcribed and put into family groups entire communities. This book might be worth a physical trip for you:
The Alt Keer records would be at Istorijski Arhiv Novi Sad. Some information about their work:

The Slavonija records for Vinkovci and Vinkovačko Novo Selo are likely here since it is the Evangelische records and not the Catholic ones (which are likely still with the diocese):
