DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with John by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA.
However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line.
It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with John:
Would this be your parents' marriage record? I found it at FamilySearch using the Research tool:

If so, you can add that paragraph as a source. To do that, visit the profile page and click the Edit tab. Copy that paragraph and paste it under the Sources heading in the edit box. Make any other adjustments and then click the Save Changes link in the dark green box.
There is an image attached to that record but it can only be viewed at a Family History Center or affiliated library. I recommend reviewing the image as it may contain clues to help you find more information.
I'm sure that would be my parents' marriage record if I could see it, but their dates of birth and ages (probably estimated) are incorrect. Their parents' names are correct.
My father, John, was born 02 Nov 1904 in Elmer, Rapides, LA, USA. He died 21 Mar 1971 in Alexandria, Rapides, LA, USA.
My mother, Lula Belle (Simmons), was born 09 Apr 1906 in Kurthwood, Vernon, LA, USA and died 18 Jun 1991 in Alexandria, Rapides, LA, USA.
WikiTree has turned out to be much more complicated than I anticipated, so I probably won't do much here. I'm retired, but I do have a very busy life apart from genealogy (though I really enjoy knowing my family's history).
Thanks for your note. Feel free to add that information if you know how.
