@N. Shobb.

There was an internal system error that has since been resolved. Are you still experiencing difficulties with this article?

If I know the volume record and group number, can I search for it to see if it is in the catalog? I know it was in the Lithuanian archive.

Yes, you can search the FamilySearch Catalog with the Image Group Number.

Unfortunately it has been made virtually impossible to conduct a personal search of people and places by the implementation of 'so-called' improvements. Machines do not pick up on vital clues, so the researcher is never able to access the information they require. A very great loss to genealogists.

How do we find the batch number? Has it changed since Family Tree was updated? please guide me to the batch number. Thanks.
