Many people are interested in how many Masons there are and were each year
in each State in the U.S. And
how many were Raised each year, and how many Lodges were in existence each year. In each
State.
We are in the process of compiling all this information, but it's a long and slow process.
We're happy to share
the information with anyone who wants it, and will post the information on this page for
viewing and/or
downloading.
It's still being worked on, but you are welcome to see what has been compiled so far.
Please feel free to let me
know any suggestions for changes or any additional information you might have. Also, feel
free to revisit this
site whenever you'd like, as we'll include more information as we gather it.
Please note that these files are zipped files, and when you unzip them, they are Lotus 123
files, latest release. If
you cannot read this format, I am sorry but I do not have the ability to post these charts
in another form without
losing a good deal of the formatting. Please use these charts if your computer has the
ability to read them, or
feel free to attempt to find someone else who can assist you to read them.
