Question:
I am having difficulty finding information on my Great great grandmother. Her death certificate says her father [C.N.B.L] Daniels, mother just says [C.N.B.L.]. Do you know what that stands for?

Answer:
The death record abbreviation of C.N.B.L. stands for "Can Not Be Learned". This question does arise from time to time. The informant on that death record was not aware of the parentage for the deceased.
