  We calculate the lepton electric dipole moments in a class of supersymmetric
seesaw models and explore the possibility that they may provide a way to probe
some of the CP violating phases responsible for the origin of matter via
leptogenesis. We show that in models where the right handed neutrino masses,
$M_R$ arise from the breaking of local B-L symmetry by a Higgs field with
B-L=2, some of the leptogenesis phases can lead to enhancement of the lepton
dipole moments compared to the prediction of models where $M_R$ is either
directly put in by hand or is a consequence of a higher dimensional operator.
