Unfortunately the site is no longer under maintenance. It tells one side of the who recognizes story so it gives doubly incomplete answers to your questions.
I think what you need is to look up both sides of our family in states that don't have current local recognition and find their history. There have been rumors that GLofXX offered local recognition but MWPHGLofXX turned them down. Finding out what really happened would be instructive.
We aren't supposed to contact foreign jurisdictions directly. We are supposed to go through our own Grand Secretary office indirectly. That's 18 parallel queries in 9 states to even find out what year to look in.
There's a loop hole to the contact rule - Nearly every jurisdiction has at least 1 Lodge of Research who do respond across jurisdictions. That's 18 parallel quires that are at least direct.
The questions I would ask each Lodge of Research is something like this -
(Usual introductions and fraternal greetings)
I'm doing a research project on the history of PHA recognition across the country. To this end I wold like to know what years, if any, the subject have come up for vote at Annual Communication. Then once I know the years to look into how I could purchase or borrow a copy of the Proceedings of the Annual Communications from your jurisdiction for those years. I'm interested in years sending an offer of recognition came up for a vote and years that an offer for recognition arrived from the other local jurisdiction, if any.
In the long run I may want to contact brothers involved in those discussions for any discussion that is suitable to share outside of the jurisdiction. Please let me know any of those Brothers are members of your Lodge of Research to see if it's possible to contact them directly, or if I have to channel the requests through our respective Grand Secretary offices.
(Usual thanks and fraternal regards)
The problem you'll face is that any discussion that does have to go through channels will fail because it would be between jurisdictions without recognition. Being in PHA union GL in Florida any such request by you would fail on all of the GLofXX side.
That's why you want to contact Lodge of Research whose members deal with outsiders. That's why you want to read copies of Proceedings which are allowed to the general public.
Bon chance my Brother
