Everything with a 2012 date credited to "FamilySearch" is legacy data: it came from a prior system on FS. Those systems did not have a means of attaching sources, and the import process did not have a means of preserving submitter information.

@abhinkle Hi - Welcome to FamilySearch Community and asking your question about sources for records added by FamilySearch. The FamilySearch database started to be populated in 2012. This was done by importing from other available databases such as New Family Search and user supplied genealogies. In many cases, these records had no primary sources but are provided as a starting point and to save having to manually enter the large number of records imported. As users of FamilySearch we need to find and add sources to these records. The goal is to make the records as accurate as possible by adding sources and correcting as necessary. On the record you site, there are no primary sources attached so some research is needed to find some sources. Hope this explanation helps.
