About us
Participation in the DNA Project is not a requirement for listing on this page, but we will indicate families who have a male representing them in the DNA Project. If you are a Marsalis or a variant spelling through a maternal line we welcome your lineage posting at the Pedigree Forum and we will transfer the tree here.
Thanks to DNA we have recently discovered a common ancestor for Marselis and Edison. This is a history changing event as we eagerly await findings on the origins of JOHN EDESON, great grandfather of THOMAS ALVA EDISON, America's own "Wizard of Menlo Park" (now Edison, NJ) and history's 4th most prolific inventoer.
We welcome all who descend from John EDESON/EDISON through a son or a daughter to post your pedigree - whether you test or not.
This PATRIARCH Page is edited and corrected as new VERIFIED Information is found. (See John aand Prudence Griffen Marsalis)
