Are you the First Mason in your family?

At least 4th generation.

 

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.

I think you're good to go, Brother.

 

I'm first in my family and new to it all

 

Sounds like a winner! Best of luck to you. I think that you will enjoy it.

 

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 havent really researched but as far as I know I am the first Mason of my family.

 

I would not be so sure. I know of brothers who were initiated but their family did not know...

 

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.

Because he joined Freemasonry ?

 

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 agree! I've seen that at my own Lodge, Brother.

 

I was raised at an outdoor degree conducted in Corinth.

 

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’m the first Mason ever in my family

I have no way of knowing so as far as I can tell, I am the first.

 

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...

 

Lol I thought you were from Corinth, MS. Mine is Florence, AL.
