Quoting from the Findmypast.com blog entitled, "Over 100 Million New European Records Now Online:"
Over 114 million new European births, baptisms, marriages, banns, deaths and burials are now available to search and explore on Findmypast. The new additions consist of transcripts sourced from the International Genealogical Index, a database compiled from a variety of sources from around the world. The span nearly five centuries (1502 to 1960) of history and cover 20 European nations, including: 
The Netherlands
Austria
Ukraine
Belgium
Spain
Sweden
Russia
Germany
Italy
Norway
Hungary
Czech Republic
Switzerland
Portugal
Luxembourg
Iceland
Lichtenstein
Finland
Denmark
Gibraltar 
The release marks the latest step in our efforts to provide more opportunities for discovery around the world. Since January 2019, over 67 million records from Central America have been added to our collections and a further 20 million + records from South America, Asia and the Middle East will be added to the site in the near future.
This marks a substantial addition to the greater genealogical community. Findmypast.com is well known for its huge collection of records from the British Islands and these new records indicate that they are decisively moving growing their international presence. Findmypast.com has over 9 billion records and over 1 billion of these are not available anywhere else online.
