You need not necessarily know any Masons personally, to petition Freemasonry. BUT- You should be prepared to provide 2 or 3 character references, who can vouch for your character (These need not be Masons). Most Grand Lodges, require that one or more Masons sponsor your application, so if you do not know any Masons, the lodge will provide you with a sponsor. This happens frequently, in the case of a military person, or someone who has no masonic friends or relatives.
If you genuinely believe that Masonry is right for you, and you wish to petition (apply) for membership, then the lodge in your area of residence, will guide you through the process.
