Wow. 8 days? And already joining the YR? Just a suggestion that you might wanna slow downnand learn the lessons of the first 3 b4 you advance any further
After joining I was advised to wait 6 months before joining an appendant body to let the lessons of the three degrees sink in a bit. I took the advise and am glad I did. This allowed me to better understand the meanings of the York Rite and Scottish Rite degrees.Not just the degrees brother but the lessons in them. Just rememebr that you are a Blue Lodge Mason FIRST

It has actually been about that long; I was raised to MM in July, and will get the York Rite degrees in a month or two.

Yes, ive done geneology and back to 1791 i am the only mason on both sides of my family. I am proud of it but feel behind the curve trying to learn everything.

I will continue my research of course... though my smith side almost all the information has been lost to time due to a falling out with greatgrandfather and his father.I would not be so sure. I know of brothers who were initiated but their family did not know...

Although I'm not a Lewis, I am the third Mason in my family. One of my uncles, and his father-in-law, were Masons.
Does this make me a third-generation Freemason? I wonder.
I did not know my uncle was a Mason until I told him I wanted to petition a lodge. It was then that he told me he had served as Worshipful Master of a lodge in New Delhi.
Were I to have a son someday, I'd like for him to join, but the call would be his.
Initiating him would make for my finest hour.
Brother I attended a 1st degree where a father was initiating his son, the look on his face was priceless. So brother, it will truly be a moment to remember![]()
I was raised at an outdoor degree conducted in Corinth.My Paternal Grampaw was born in 1900, and made a Mason in 1921 at Corinth lodge, Corinth KY.
Corinth?? I'm from Muscle Shoals/Tuscumbia/Florence in Alabama right next to the border there. I have family that live in Cherokee, AL.I was raised at an outdoor degree conducted in Corinth.
Corinth, Kentucky. Near Florence, Kentucky. But I can't tell if we're talking about the same place. I don't know what the early settlers had against original names...Corinth??
