Having trouble with the new digitized images

Digitizing the old microfilm we used to order and have sent to a nearby Family Search Center is a tremendous advance, thank you so much.

But I must be doing something wrong, because I can't find most of the old microfilm I ordered over the years, under the digitized images. I used to order microfilm of church records from Nordhausen, in Saxony (both the district and the city itself) and in them I found many, many ancestors. As my research has advanced, I would like to look at some of those same microfilms again.

But when I plug in Nordhausen in the images search bar, the options that come up are extremely limited. Where did they all go? Or what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

    Unfortunately, in my experience, the "Images" section is still unusably error-ridden and incomplete. Use the catalog instead.

    Catholic registers for Nordhausen, Saxony: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/667272

    Protestant registers for same: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/149328
