Help Locating Danish Probate Record
I'm looking for the probate record for Jens Olesen who died 31 May 1890 in Mosbjerg, Hjørring, Denmark. Can someone point me in the right direction?

The probate you are looking for should be on this film: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QHN-T3YX-HZ2L?mode=g&cat=465449.
However, I have spent about an hour looking for it and have not had any success.
He is listed in this index of the probates (#65), but I am struggling to find the actual probate: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSV8-9QW5-X?i=473&cat=465449.
I am going to tag @Tanner Blair Tolman and @Charlotte Noelle Champenois to see if they can help here.

Hi Bob! The record @Norm Baker found states, in the last column, "Efterlod intet," which means "Left behind nothing." The collection is listed in the Catalog as a list of the deceased, not as a probate index, so it seems no probate was filled out for him since he left behind nothing--"If there were insufficient funds in the estate to pay for the administrative expenses no probate would be made" (see https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Denmark_record_examples_of_Skifteprotokollerne). He is also listed as a "fattiglem" of "Mosbjerg fattiggaard"--a pauper of the Mosbjerg poorhouse.
