My maternal grandma's older brother, my great-uncle Larry Alan Thomas, of Omaha, was a Master Mason, Shriner, and in Scottish Rite. He died in 2007, and I didn't even know he was any of that stuff, let alone know of his existence at all, until after Grandma passed away a few years later. Nobody had ever really mentioned him until I got into genealogy, and I started asking about any family I didn't know about. Then I found out in his obituary, when I found it years later online, that it mentioned he was a Mason. Also, throughout time, people with my last name, and variations, have been brothers in the craft, but they are pretty distant relations.

Congratulations brother. May tje child be a healthy and happy baby.Here in Quebec, people comes mostly from a Catholic background, and Freemasonry is frowned upon. People were a lot more into the Knights of Columbus. As far as I know, I'm the first Mason in my family but I'd like it to become a tradition. My girlfriend is pregnant with our first child and she is due in January. We don't want to know the sex, so if it's a boy, he's gonna be a Lewis and I would love he would would join the fraternity when he is of age. We'll see!
