Hello Lee and welcome to the world of Freemasonry.
I would urge you to caution when it comes to your zeal for learning as unguided learning can be very dangerous especially when utilising the double edged sword that is the Internet. You should turn to your Proposer and seconder and the Lodge...
He was never a member of a Lodge under the United Grand Lodge of England BUT claimed to be a member of totally irregular bodies.

My review of the book:
The Hiram Key, by Christopher Knight & Robert Lomas, ISBN 0 7126 8579 0 published 1996, 384 inc. Index & Appendices. Cost £can’t remember.
Both of the authors were Freemasons although they don’t mention their lodges, it was funny reading this book again as it reminded me...
Hi David,
I have copied the list directly from my own copy of the UGLE Masonic Yearbook 2013/14, this book is published by the UGLE each year and so I can confidently tell you that the list I have supplied identifies the foreign Grand Lodges that the UGLE recognises in Brazil.

There is a reason that the very specific term "Appendant" (tr. hanging from) is used to describe these Orders, bodies etc and that is they have all taken something from Freemasonry and used it to become their own entity, sadly today many don't realise this. They are not a part of Freemasonry but...
Hi Shamil,
I am afraid that the answer you have received from my Grand Lodge is the only correct one from a Masonic point of view.
Your government, through a misunderstanding of what Freemasonry is, banned the pastime and others of western origin (ie Round Table, Lions, etc) in 1972 and so...
