    About us

    Thanks to DNA we have found that there are at least 4 distinctly different Edison groups. This project is concerned with those males in Lineage 1 with Haplogroup Rib who have tested and the results prove them to be Marsalis or one of the Variant Spellings of the same  line. Please see the Marsalis and Variant Spellings Project at FTDNA for more background on this family.
