How to find sources to verify the parents of an individual?
Hello.
I recently contacted the FamilySearch Help center when I was attempting to find the parents of an individual (Delilah Vina Jackson: KP7V-6MM).
The customer service agent immediately went over to Ancestry and found a record showing Delilah's parents.
I too went over to Ancestry and viewed the record. But I don't see any helpful sources to back up their names and dates. I like having sources for verification purposes.
What is the best way to find sources for her parents so I can add them to my FamilySearch account?
Thank you.

Since KP7V-6MM Delilah Jackson lived in Tennessee, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, you may have better success by posting in the Southern States Research Group where we have researchers experienced in researching that area.
In a time before vital records were kept, you will want to look for Bible records and probate records that may give you family connections.
Best of luck with the search.
