Hello I am a New member of this list. I am looking for information on the Philly branch, my Great Grandfather Henry (Harry) HEAP came to the US in 1883 and settled in Philly. He was a member of the Odd Fellows until his death in 1907 from TB. Are there any records available for this organization in that time period? And how would I find them. Any help would be appreicated and suggestions are always welcome. I do not know much about this man because he died fairly young and left 3 children & a widow. Thanks, Carol L. Heap, FL

My grandfather belonged to ODD FELLOWS in Stark County, Ohio and I have his application. It states only his name, age, town, and a friend who put his name up for membership and two signatures of ODD FELLOW MEMBERS who vouched for him. I don't have it here in front of me but it may have mentioned a fee.

I purchased several books of the OOF in St Clair County Illinois and need information of area library or museum .
