Brothers,
I want to share this with you. I received my great grandfather's Masonic ring just last week from a girl cousin. My great grandfather had two girls and no boys.
He was a Mason in Atlanta, Georgia. I enquired to the Grand Lodge of Georgia about his Masonic record and got this information back from the Grand Secretary. I am a genealogy nut and history buff and Masonic student, so this was all right up my alley! Thought I would share it with some brothers who might appreciate it.

In reference to your e-mail received on November 18, 2011, our records show Thomas Glenn Cameron was a member of our Long Cane Lodge No. 132 and was first shown on roll in 1865. We do not have his degree dates. He later joined Union Lodge No. 28; both Lodges located in Troup County. Mr. Cameron was shown as suspended in 1876. This is all that we have on Mr. Cameron.
Here is Thomas Glenn Cameron Sr.
(This was my great, great grandfather. I traveled to Georgia last year and sat in Union Lodge # 28. The Grand Master of Georgia Masons was making his official visit to the Lodge at that time and he gave me his pin and coin. So I got to sit in my great, great grandfather's lodge!)
Also, Thomas Glenn Cameron, Jr. was shown on roll with E.A. Minor Lodge No. 603, located in LaGrange, GA. He received his 25-Year Award in 1949 and became an Emeritus member in 1960. Mr. Cameron was in good standing at the time of his death in 1970. This is all that we have on Mr. Cameron.
Here is Thomas Glenn Cameron, Jr.
Here he is wearing his Masonic ring, as an elderly man. He died when I was 4, but I did meet him.
