Scottish Rites and Livingston(e)'s

Post by Suzanne Livingstone2 »

Just out of curiousity, was wondering if anyone here knows if there have been any Masonics in our family lineages, any of the Livingston or MacLea lines Here in the Seattle area we have at least half a dozen Scottish Rite Masonic centers and a few of them were of course holding dinners the other night in celebration of Robert Burn's Birthday Thanks, Suzanne

You may find this interesting. The Chancellor Robert R Livingston Masonic Library of Grand Lodge is one of the world's largest collections of books, artifacts, memorabilia and archival holdings relating to the subject of Freemasonry. http://www.nymasoniclibrary.org/

This is the Livingstone St Andrew Lodge in Scotland with what appears to be a photo of Dr. Livingtone on their web site.

Jerry, Had the pleasure to visit this lodge some years ago and was given a "token" (small penny type object) and it bears the lodge name and No and the crest of the lodge showing Dr. Livingstone. Tommy
