New transfer

I moved from Oklahoma Lodge#36 in OKC in Martinsburg,WV. I have yet to be able to contact my local representative. Im only an entered apprentice but want to continue my studies and teachings. Anyone with information on how to continue my traching and re connect with the family.

not that it may have any influence bur my grandfather was a 32nd degree Scottish right mason. Kenneth Lee Fuller

You need to talk to the Secretary of your Mother Lodge UNLESS it is your intention to start the process from scratch in which case you Petition a Lodge where you now are.

Just to add, you're right your Granddad's membership is irrelevant to yours.

I'll add to what Mike said. A Master Mason can easily move to different Lodges or Jurisdictions. An Entered Apprentice is still tied to the Lodge where they began their journey. There are options to continue your progress, but they all begin with first contacting your home Lodge in OKC and explaining that you now live in WV and want to continue your progress. They will let you know what your options are and what the next steps are. Remember, any issues or questions you have, the appropriate action is always to contact your own Lodge Secretary first. It is usually considered very inappropriate to contact a Lodge in a different Jurisdiction without first contacting your own. Some jurisdictions are more lax on this than others. Especially for Brothers who live on borders and frequently visit the neighboring one.

Thank you for the replies. the secretary at my previous lodge sent whatever paperwork was necessary to one of the lodges here in Martinsburg. Being only an entered apprentice makes sense as why this may be so hard. I suppose I may have to petition and start over. again, thank you for the replies.

Greetings and welcome to the forum and good luck with your endeavors. I am a native West Virginian from Beckley currently living in Louisville, Ky.
