FS Library Index Lookup Request
Could someone who is available to visit the FamilySearch Library on-site please look up a probate case file number for me in the index? The case files are available online but the index is not. To be clear, I'm not requesting an image to a restricted collection — I just need the case file number so I can locate the case file in the images online.
The probate record is from Oceana County, Michigan, located here: https://www.familysearch.org/en/search/catalog/koha:996245.
The case file I'm looking for is that of Sarah Elizabeth Mitchell, who likely died between 1889 and 1891.
Thank you! - Jamie

@SerraNola That could be the correct person. Some records show her as Elizabeth Sarah and others as Sarah Elizabeth.

@SerraNola Thank you so much. She did often go by just Elizabeth, so that could very well be her. However, that doesn't quite make sense because the earlier case files should have a letter ahead of them. I think the much later ones went chronologically by numbers only, so if it is as high as 4330, it might be a much later probate file than the one I'm after. The online records do not cover 4330 so that I can check. Thank you anyway for your help!
@Áine.ní.Donnghaile Some of the probate files are Full-Text searchable, but her name does not show up in that search. It may not be picking it up so I'm trying the index instead.
