+### Getting the visible parent of a marker
+If you have a marker in your MarkerClusterGroup and you want to get the visible parent of it (Either itself or a cluster it is contained in that is currently visible on the map).
+```
+var visibleOne = markerClusterGroup.getVisibleParent(myMarker);
+console.log(visibleOne.getLatLng());
+```
+
 ### Adding and removing Markers
 addLayer, removeLayer and clearLayers are supported and they should work for most uses.
