When will delayed Tennessee birth records be available on FamilySearch.org?
Does anyone here know when FamilySearch.org will have delayed Tennessee birth records be available like Ancestry.com already has for some years? I'm asking because I know that Ancestry.com has a delayed birth record for supercentenarian Cora May Wisner (1888-2001) and I'd like to look at it on FamilySearch.org since I don't have an Ancestry.com subscription, so I was wondering if that could actually become a reality in the near future.

No, we are never given advance knowledge of "What's coming soon" or "What's in the pipeline", as is the case with other websites I use. Just keep an eye on the regular Blog item headed "New Historical Records on FamilySearch...." and you will receive notification if / when this collection eventually does become available on FamilySearch. Not any time before, I'm afraid.

There are some Tennessee delayed birth records already on FamilySearch, but you need to drill down to the county level to find them.

Thanks, Aine, but I think that it would be easier if I knew which, if any, of these delayed birth records were for Overton County, Tennessee without going through most or all of them.
Cora May Beasley Wisner (1888-2001) was born in Overton County, Tennessee and apparently spent her entire life there: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/72113736/cora-may-wisner
