[Note to Pam - if you would like to put this on the GenWeb site, I'm willing to do look-ups from this book -Nancy] I bought from Ebay a book called "The History of California Bodies Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rites of Freemasonry", commonly known as the Masons. There are bunches of names listed, but **the book is UNindexed** so it is almost impossible to search for someone in the book. Besides there were hundreds of Masons in San Francisco even in the early 1900's so not all of them could possibly be listed. But, there are some short paragraphs with some biographical data on the following names. In many cases, the data is just dates of birth and death, but in some cases place of birth is given. There is no info like wife or children's names, etc. but if they were members of other lodges, that might be mentioned.
