So in this case, "verkartete Kirchenbuecher" is probably best translated as "indexed church registers" unless you know that the index is on cards, in which case you would say "church registers with a card index".

I think that the 'indexed' portion can only be hoped for in a Verkartung of any kind. Normally and per the various references the task goes back to the record transcription onto cards. One could expect that these cards were then sortable but isn't that another whole process?
