The Archives filmed and digitized the original records. I found three records there for a George Klein - maybe part of your Kleins: http://www.sos.mo.gov/archives/mojudicial/results.asp?PartyName=klein, george&radSearch=BEG&Year=&YearEnd=&hSearch=name&selCounty=000 In the future, St. Louis City probate records after 1900 will be available online and on microfilm. Currently, Missouri Archives and St. Louis County Library Special Collections have the St. Louis City probate alphabetical card index, which lists the probate cases from 1890 to 1989. The cards include the name of the deceased, the file number, and the date of filing. When you look at the files, you'll understand why the court clerks can't review files for people - too many pages!
