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.
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. Sent from my iPhone using My Freemasonry

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. Sent from my SM-G935V using My Freemasonry mobile app
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
Corinth?? I'm from Muscle Shoals/Tuscumbia/Florence in Alabama right next to the border there. I have family that live in Cherokee, AL.
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...
