Becky and my other cousins, Years ago I had a short chat with a very active Mason, as well as being a high officer in the Helion Lodge of our area, in hopes of gaining data from records of my gg-grandfathers' records in the lodge of TN. My friend's comment was that "only the lodge applicant/members name, age, address & etc. is recorded" - nothing on parents or his older ancestors. Fortunately, I had fully researched the lineage, however, was wondering if his Masonic Lodge record would give additional information.
