Are There NH Probate Records in LDS Collection That Are Missing Online?
New Hampshire, County Probate Records, 1660-1973>Strafford>Probate records 1847-1863.
It appears that Volumes 26 and 68 are missing. I haven't checked the other counties, but perhaps that information should be included in the notes. Is it possible the FHL has those volumes in its records, but they have not yet been digitized?
Thank you for your time.

@BMcGTX.... yes, it does look like volumes 26 and 68 are missing from the New Hampshire, County Probate Records, 1660-1973 Collection, for Strafford County. I have looked in the preceding and succeeding volumes, but find no evidence there of the missing documents.
I also see that other sources for these probate records have the same problem: case in point is Ancestry, where volumes 26 and 68 also appear to be missing. This may suggest that the issue may be with the Strafford county repository and not with FamilySearch.
When you see these kind of problems with a Collection, it is always good to go to the related WIKI page by clicking the HOW TO USE THIS COLLECTION button; and then look for at section, toward the bottom, titled, "Known Issues." If the section exists, following its direction will lead to a Known Issues page, such the one below, for this collection.
Although the concern that you have raised, for Strafford County, is not found in the Known Issues page, I will report it so that, upon review, it may be added.
Thanks for reporting this issue.

All microfilm in the FamilySearch collection has been digitized. https://www.familysearch.org/en/blog/familysearch-microfilm-collection-digitized
There may be films that are not online. There may be NH probate records not filmed by FamilySearch.
