"Union" GL and "Stringer" GL are the two Prince Hall GLs got generally accepted in all US jurisdictions but just simply not the UGLE.
Your grand lodge should recognised these two GLs and you should check it up yourselves.

Here's the place to look for regular PHA jurisdictions - http://www.conferenceofgrandmasterspha.org/gjlinks.asp

All the others on the list match the pattern MWPHGLof(state). Some have "and jurisdictions" in their name. Sometimes this says they cover a nearby state.

If you click on Florida it will direct you to The Most Worshipful Union Grand Lodge of Florida The recognized Prince Hall GL here in FL a BOGUS group already uses the name Prince Hall Grand Lodge of FL so I can see how this may confuse some if you care to visit our GL website you can read our history and see how this distinction came about

Just to clarify, Union and Stringer are accepted by the PHA Conference of Grandmasters. I am unaware of them being excepted by members of CGMNA.

For instance, the two Prince Hall lodges in Utah are members of MW Prince Hall GL of Colorado and it's Jurisdictions.

I am pleased to say they both rent space in Grand Lodge of Utah buildings.

Interesting that you mention that since your grand lodge recognizes the Prince Hall grand lodge in your state since 1997 according to http://bessel.org/masrec/phachart.htm which may be out of date but still has useful information and UGLE http://www.ugle.org.uk/about/foreign-grand-lodges . Visitation may or may not be allowed as I couldn't find a definitive source but you can always contact the secretary of your lodge or your grand lodge for further information.
Yes both Oregon and New Mexico recognize PHA and both PHAGLs are MWPHGLofXX i had never heard of stringer or union and.was just wondering if.they were bogus....thanks.to.mrprince for.clearing that up
