I have a charter related to the Grand Lodge of Ireland No. 340. It is very difficult to read, but mentions "In the year of Masonry 5846 and a gentleman named William Hally is listed in the upper right hand corner. This was registered on the 10th day of (month is unreadable) year is 1846. All of this is on sheepskin and the back has some handwriting that appears to say: Correct James W Powell ?? Gr Sec ???? State of N.Y Aug 6th 5850 Do you want this? It does not belong to my family or any ancestor.

My Grandfather was a Grand Master and my father a Freemason back in Brazil.
I never understood much about it to be honest, but since my father passed away five years ago, I became more 'curious' to know more about the Freemasonry. :-)

Although I am not a Freemason I have a keen interest in fraternal orders as I am an Orangeman and Sir Knight in the Royal Black Institution.I have visited your Grand Lodge Hall at Molesworth Street Dublin and I must say I was VERY impressed by it especially all the separate meeting rooms for the higher degrees as well as the Blue Lodge.I have also visited the Grand Lodge of England hall although,I only got to see the museum on that occasion,and the Masonic hall in Bath which started out as a Roman Catholic church,then a theatre,before being converted into a Masonic hall.I hope you don't mind me saying but one of the reasons I have'nt joined the Masonic Order,as well as financial and time issues,is that as a Christian who believes nothing should be added or taken out of the Bible I would be concerned that I would be compromising my faith by accepting extra-biblical details about the building of King Solomon's Temple as practised in the first three degrees particulary the third of Master Mason.I hope I have not offended anyone by stating these thoughts as I am not a religious fanatic.I also believe that everyone is entitled to their own religous or non religious belief.God bless to both Masons and non-mason alike.

Greetings, My name is Cian Elliott and I've been researching and have been heavily interested in joining the Irish Freemasons for over 3 years now. I'm ready to give anything in order to be a member of the family in which I feel I truly belong. Food has lost it's taste, colours seem dull. I will be coming to the Grand Lodge this year and hope to see everyone there. Please feel free to message me on my Facebook profile provided as I'm always up for a talk to my friends.

Hello,
Just saw Morgan on the Irish Times video there today! What a surprise! I've been looking to get in touch with him regularly on my return visits to Ireland. Have always popped into the Pav on the off chance he or Peadar would be there.
Would love to meet up for a drinky when I'm back the next time. drop an email!

Dear Brothers,

What a blast from the past to see such a website still exists online - it reminds me of my first project while at University at the end of the 90's.

Having discovered my ancestry hails from Galway and having just taken the first, I am looking forward to venturing to Ireland and visiting many of my ancestral and fraternal brothers in my journey to the east.

Do drop by my website or send me an email should you desire to visit my lodge during your travels Down Under.

Fraternally,
Nathan J Burke EA

I am close to retirement age and my life dream has been to spend my remaining years in Ireland which is where my ancestors are from.
I am a Master Mason and Past Master of my Lodge. I am also a Past Excellent High Priest of the Royal Arch, a Past Thrice Illustrious Master of The Cryptic Council (which you seem to refer to as Knight Masons) and a Past Eminent Commander of The Knights Templar Commandery.
I have been awarded The Knights Cross of Honor which now makes me a member of Illinois Priory #11.  I am also a 32nd degree Scottish Rite Mason and a Shriner.
My question is:
If my wife and I were to retire to Ireland would I be considered a Mason in good standing or would I have to start from the beginning?
Thank you for any response which you may offer.
Respectfully,
Jim Burke

I have a question,but I don't mean it to be inflamitory. Irish Freemasons hold Parades in neighborhoods that are of different religious denominations than them selves. In The U.S. this would be unheard of. What prompts the parades? My Grandmother was from Ireland. I have never been there but hope to some day. I know different places do things differently but I am curious about Irish Freemasonry. I belong to Silver Cord #51,Henderson,Nevada. U.S.A. Fraternal best wishes!
