I found that the best way to look for records on FamilySearch is to search using the 'place' name (name of town where parish church is/was located&nbsp;is a good place to start).
On the FamilySearch web site go to Search&gt;Catalog&gt;Place. Here you can also try searching by subject or key word.
The Metrical books for the 'parish town' is where you want to start looking. Check carefully for the correct location and years. -There years where the records are missing or have not been microfilmed.
See genealogy tips -Belarus and links below for ideas on finding diocese and deanery names.
