Edison Family History on CD
The volume of family information collected over the years has grown so large that it is no longer practical to keep updating this web page. As an alternative, I have put together a CD to share updated information with other researchers and family members. The CD is formatted the same as this web site, so you can easily search and trace family members.
This CD includes;
- More than twice the information on this web site
- More than 16,000 Eidson family members
- More than 2,000 related family surnames
- More than 90 suporting documents
- More than 16,000 citations
- More than 400 photographs
- More than 20,000 notes
- 40 drawings
- Section on related Boyce, Bryan, Henderson, Marra and Zinserling families
The cost of the CD is $10.00 plus any information you can provide about your branch of the family. If you want an extra copy for your children or other family members please add $5.00 for each additional CD.
To order the Eidson CD send your check or money order, along with your family information to:

that you can print and fill out to submit your family information. Thank you for your help with this project.
Thank's for all your kind comments and suggestions. I have been surprised at the number of people who have ordered my CD, many of you ordering multiple copies. Encouraged by your response, I have been hard at work on a "new improved version" that is now available. This new CD, version 5.0D (June 2007) includes all the new information and documents that many of you have sent, plus a few new features.
This is a wonderful way to save and share your family photo's, obituaries, newspaper articles, and family stories. I encourage you to send your documents and photo's. They will be well cared for and safely returned as soon as they can be scanned into the computer, usually the next day. Then they will be included on the next version of the CD so that your grandchildren, and family members across the nation will have copies, and your treasured photo's and documents will never be lost or lose their identity.
Again, thank's to all of you who have written to say how much they have enjoyed my CD and especially for all your help and contributions to this project.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

PLEASE NOTE: This CD is NOT the same information

Wanda's books are more detailed in the information they contain and include a great number of
family photographs. However, Wanda's book does not include the "Boyce line," which is
included on this CD. For information about the availability and cost of the book set
