Yes, it does appear the names from the seven Wuerttemberg volumes have been extracted by Ancestry.  And access to this seems to be free, but one has to sign up.

  Hi,
  Rose and Jerry, are these books of which you speak the ones from which
  this information originates and is so easily searchable:
  http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=3141
  This index was the location of a wonderful breakthrough for me some
  years back at a time when subscription was needed to view these
  records.  Overnight a friend in USA found a location I had searched
  for years from a very clearly written but hopelessly misspelt shipping
  list.
  Kind regards,
  Bronwyn.
