I know of only one member of my family who was briefly a junior member. I've never seen any family photos of anyone belonging to the Freemasons or anything like it.

The Masons are not a big deal in Poland are they?

I have no idea. I know my great grand-father was one (the great lodge of Yugoslavia), but that's it.

wow, you have commie-alpine-masonery roots :> what you are hiding next

Some guy who I really, really hate is a mason. But I didn't start to hate him for this. I just did.

Default Re: Are any of you a mason :D?

I am not, and have long since "cleansed" all known Freemasons within a 5 mile radius of my home

I do now some "ex"-Masons, however.
Other than that, my father simply manipulated many of them for business purposes. Well, if they thought he was one of them, then that was entirely their own fault.......

Same here. Peasants, soldiers or workers (except my parents). To my knowledge there are not Masonic lodges in Peugeot's factories.

In the north of Ireland the freemasonic Orange Order is not just a middle class organisation so there are Protestants from every background as members. I don't know of any relatives or ancestors who were members but we do have neighbours who are.

The Freemasons in France seem to have some deep pockets. Check out their website and the photos of their HQ:
