Many of the records at FHL are also available on the Polish archives
(and in other cases, the Polish archives might contain scans not on FHL or vice-versa). You can go to the main Polish archives website - https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/ And type, for example, mojzeszowego Warszawie This search brings up a list of units - each being a book of records. Normally, it accepts English as well, but here you have to type Warszaw, not Warsaw for the search to find the books. On the left you have filters such as "vital records and civil registers only" and "units with scans only" If you click any of the item, you can find a link to the collection: 72/200/0 Akta stanu cywilnego wyznania mojzeszowego w Warszawie https://szukajwarchiwach.pl/72/200/0/-#tabZespol You now have tabs on top allowing to explore all the units of these collection. You'll need to have a basic understanding of Russian/Polish script to be able to identify records. Many of the books contain hand-written indexes at the end (or, if a single book contains separate sections for birth/marraige/death, it might have the hand-written index after the relevant section) Another useful website is: http://www.lostshoebox.com/poland/online-records/ Units at FHL are already digitized if they have an associated DGS number. I don't know if there is any way to still view the original microfilms as FHL has decided to scan all their collections and provide online access to them. Perhaps the units are not online due to contractual restrictions. I see some units online in Warsaw, though.
