Trey: Glad to: We found that to get such data for any member of a Masonic Lodge in the State of Ind., one must apply to the Grand Masonic Lodge for the State of Ind. Upon a formal request submitted via snail-mail, they will do a genealogical search of their records. You give them as much information as you can (We were able to supply name, residences, and dob.), enclose a check for $15, and in due course you will likely get such information as they may have. Their address is PO Box 44210, Indianapolis, Ind. Phone: (317) 634-7904.
