The Family History Library (FHL) has two versions of Bessarabian church records available on microfilm.
Many Bessarabian village church records were brought out of Bessarabia in 1940 although there are gaps for some villages and some years. The list of microfilms shows the records available by village and lists FHL film number, type of record (birth, marriage, death, etc.) and years covered.
Each church was required to send copies of their records to the Lutheran consistory in St. Petersburg. These records are available online and on microfilm. The indexes show births/marriages/deaths by the individual's name plus microfilm number and page. The online images show the actual records.
