EDISON FAMILY FROM HOLLAND Detroit, —(UP) —The trunk of the Thomas Alva Edison family tree was a Duteli family named .Marcelisson, according to Mrs. Frederick H. Morse, a second cousin of the late inventor. “Edison’s name would have tteen recorded in history as Thomas Alva Marcelisson,” Mrs. Moise said “if his great-great-grandmother hadn’t talked about her Eddie’s sons. Her reference to “Eddie’s sons’ caused the change in name.” Mrs. Morse related that Eddie Marcelisson. a Hollander, immigrated to England with his two sons. When Eddie died, the maiden aunt witli whom the boys were living spoke of them as her brother's sons. One of the boys gave his name as Edison when he received a commission in the British navy. The naval officer later came to New Amsterdam. He was a banker and tlie grandfather of Thomas Edison, Mrs. Morse said.
