Hi List, I received this from another mailing list & thought it was of interest to those doing genealogy research! :) Happy hunting, Helen (DCGS) My gg grandfather was also in the Order of Redmen and I sent off for info from their main offices (located in Texas). They sent me a letter, courtesy copying the local representative in PA., and stated my gg grandfather's records would be stored in the state/locale where he was a member. The man's name is Brad Buchanan and he did write and let me know that he would look for the records when he could. That was 2 years ago. Guess I should follow up on that one - but, you may find info about the Redmen and other fraternal orgs. at the following web site. Good luck! http://www.bessel.org/fratorgs.htm
