	Personally, I think it's a great idea.  I know approximately
where and when my maternal Grandfather was raised - I haven't a clue
about my paternal Grandfather.  Since he lived in Oakland, California
at the time of his death, and had lived there for years, I've been
thinking about contacting the local Shrine, since I know he was a
32 Degree Mason, and probably a Shriner.  But he was a oil worker
in his younger days and worked all over the country, so he could
have joined a Blue Lodge anywhere!

	Does anyone have any clues on how to track down a Masonic
ancestor?  Fraternally,

-HWM
