Thanks for the date on Waldo. From the photos I inherited, I think he was very close to his distant cousin and my ggrandfather Victor Nelson Denison. I have a lot on the Denisons and the Hopkins. If you need them, I can send you FGS of these Blunt/Hopkins and Denison/Hopkins lines. I believe the Hopkins goes back to John Hopkins University. Victor Denison is buried in Greenwood Cem in Birmingham. The Denisons came to MI in about 1831 before MI was a state. They settled in Oakland County from the beginning. There is a Denison Society in CN and 2 volumes written on the Denison Genealogy. It ends with VND and his first 3 kids and the 3rd one,Roy Denison, is my maternal grandpa. I must add that Lois Pamelia Hopkins is Victor's step-mother, as his genetic mother died and Daniel Avery Denison married Lois and she raised the kids. Daniel Avery and Lois have the biggest, best tombstone, like a big tree trunk with vines on it in the Crooks & 18 Mile Road cem. I will try to find the picture and send you. I will send you an invite to my family site and you can do a search in the photo section for Waldo and look at the other photos. I haven't kept up the chart there because I work on it at onegreatfamily.com. Thanks for your contact. It has been 5 years since I left the message you answered. Miracles happen in finding genealogy.
