Masonería Mexicana

Hello everyone, my name is Alberto Treviño Treviño, im from San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, México.

I joined freemasonry for about 2 years and 3 months already, and im 2th degree, Compañero Masón (still not sure the correct translation sorry hahaha).

Fourth generación of masons in my family: my Grand Grand father, Arturo Wong from China, came to México as a refugee and later meet my Grand Grand Mother (mexican). Arturo came with other family members and friends (also masons) and soon received a warm wellcome from the mexican Lodges (this around 1900 I belive). They all together founded a still locally known Lodge called Che Kun Ton #12.

His son, also called Arturo, joined freemasonry after his father (my Grand Grand father) passed away, and years later got the Master degree.

Years later my father joined, and after a great jounery of study, he became 18 degree.

3 years ago from today my father passed away, leaving only books behind and no information about freemasonry. A mason friend invited me, and with his help, i was able to see in the Grand Lodge records all this information.

So here I am, working every day to be better :)

What high degrees or appendant bodies are the most common in south america?

Really hard question for me, but I´ve seen many brothers from different degrees around: my masonic godfather is 32 right now, a master from my lodge is 18, another two masters are 33, and the other three masters are 3. I´m the only active fellow craftsman at the moment (the other 4 are busy), the rest are still apprentices. And this is only in my lodge.

How long does it generally take an EA to become a MM ?

Dear Bro. Alberto Trevino Trevino,

FRATERNAL GREETINGS!

My name is Gary Whiteman, originally from New Zealand, and I am a Past Master of Sir Augustus Lodge #154, under the United Grand Lodge of Queensland, Australia, and I have been a member of Szechwan Lodge #4, under the Grand Lodge of China, now based in Taiwan, Republic of China, after Free Masonry was forced out of Mainland China by the Communists in 1947. - Unfortunately all Masonic Properties and Assets were confiscated by the Chinese Communist Government.

I have just signed-up to this site about 2 days back, and I don't know how it really works yet... So here goes! Just read your family history on Masonry and I find this particularly interesting. Especially, your family's connections to Free Masonry in China.

At the moment I have recently returned to Houston, Texas, USA, from South East Asia, and I am proposing a visit to Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, in the very near future. Monterrey is quite close to Houston, and naturally, I would like to establish some Masonic connections before my visit.

I would prefer to communicate with you by Email if this is possible for a start. My email address is: grcw2000@hotmail.com and I look forward to hearing from you.

Have a Great Day. With Best Regards,
Gary R.C. Whiteman, PM. :)
