Thought I'd meantion one way I was lucky enough to find some incredible information about my G-Grandfather. George W. Craig of New Jersey. My Dad had a medal that had been presented to his Grandfather, we had no idea what it was for, when someone askesd about that MASONIC medal. I wrote to the Lodge in the area (Mt. Holly) in New Jersey and heard nothing. I then wrote the State organizatiuon in Ohio and they...forwarded my letter to the proper person in New Jersey. I eventually received a WONDERFUL letter..detailing information about George's experience in that organization....about his work life, his home address, his age at the time...many details. The discription of the medal, why it was presented, the meaning and history of it's use. BUT THE MOST WONDERFUL result of this was an enclosure of a 4X6 black and white PHOTOGRAPH of my G-Grandfather. I was able to show my Dad a photo of the Grandfather he barely remembered......what joy. Don't overlook any organization that your ancestor was part of......you absolutely never know what priceless gem may be uncovered Mary Ann Oh,......we learned that my father and I both received our eyes from this man... Left eye slightly larger than right. A nodule on our right ear as well. That tiny little bump on the top edge of our right ear has continued...my oldest son and his daughter both have one........
