I know it might have been on this list recently but am not sure. How can I get in touch with a Mason Lodge to obtain records? It was Lodge No. 217 in Goshen Springs and the year I need information on is 1868. Thank you for any help. Sandra

Membership records, past and present, are maintained by the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of each state. A directory of state Grand Lodges is available at: http://www.vista-masons.org/links/usgrand.htm Inquiries should be addressed to the Grand Secretary at the address shown for each state. If you write "Genealogical Information Request" on the lower left corner of the envelope it will speed your request to the correct person. Masonic organizations are proud of their legacy, and your request will receive the best possible attention. However, Grand Lodge offices are usually minimally staffed and your request may take a while. Full name, Lodge Number and location, and date and place of birth will help the search.
