The State gives a certain amount of time to file the death certs and if it was late then the state stamped "DELAY" on them. And thanks for posting this DC, as I didn't have Amanda as one of their children. Do you know who she married? I too have alots of VIRES and GABBARDS in my lines. Thanks again Lynda Lynda, she married William Gabbard s/o Isaac and Belle Baker Gabbard (from what Im told) I havent been able to actually prove this as of yet, but my Granny says this and so do several "cousins", actually I think you had helped me quite abit when I first started genealogy. Then I lost EVERYTHING!!!!!! Now Im starting over :( Thanks for the reply, Crystal
