The men who wrote Knight's of the North who signed their name to the other book have little to nothing available.
Does the Grand Orient keep records that would allow me to see when my great grandfather became a member? |
There are many aspects of Freemasonry that can have a profound effect on your life, in multiple ways.
The Grand Orient does have lodges in California but you will not find one on every corner like you do in
Antient Freemasonry. Many times they do not even really discuss, in public, their existence. They are much more picky about who is able to join and have a much longer process to become a Master Mason than many other systems who some will make you a 32 degree in one day.
Some tout "they take good men and make them better" but I see little of that from many larger groups. I'd rather see a lodge with 7 members, who act like Masons, than 500 full of people who only care about title chasing.
