Indexing Austrian/Hungarian documents

Walter4746

I'd like to index some documents which are not indexed at all from a certain area (which I know), but I do not know how to start.

The area I'm interested in is the most eastern part of Austria - earlier West-Hungary.

If Family Search does not have a contract with the record custodian, you won't be able to index anything from a certain area.

How can I know if Family Search has such a contract?

Some of the pages of the document I'm interested are indexed others are not.

Indexers do not know what contracts Family Search has.

Based on the fact that there has never been any sign of, say, the Lutheran registers from Burgenland (and elsewhere) in FamilySearch's Indexing section, and yet new indexes of these records keep showing up on FS every six months or so, there is clearly an ongoing indexing contract somewhere -- but not with FS's "public" indexers. (The consensus on Hungarian genealogy fora is that it must be AI-driven.)

The public indexing is still working on Budapest civil registers, and if you set the language to Slovak you can do the Eperjes (Prešov) archive's church registers (which are often in Hungarian), but those are the only Hungarian projects I know of currently. FS has never had a means for indexers to choose what to work on below the project level, and there is (or was) a Help Center article somewhere that flat-out says that no, the public cannot suggest indexing projects.

Some indexing is done by other organizations (like genealogical societies) that are not AI-driven. Case in point, the Ohio tax records.
