Standards of "proof" for those on this list may vary widely some figures with no verified lodge affiliation are claimed as Masons if reliable sources give anecdotal evidence suggesting they were familiar with the "secret" signs and passes, but other figures are rejected over technical questions of regularity in the lodge that initiated them. Because of this, masonic membership can sometimes be difficult to verify. In areas of the world where Masonry has been suppressed by governments, records of entire grand lodges have been destroyed. Grand Lodge governance may have shifted or reorganized, resulting in further loss of records on the member or the name, number, location or even existence of the lodge in question. Such records are most often kept at the individual lodge level, and may be lost due to fire, flood, deterioration, or simple carelessness. In some cases, membership can only be proven by searching through the fraternity's records. Throughout history some members of the fraternity have made no secret of their involvement, while others have not made their membership public. Freemasonry is a fraternal organisation that exists in a number of forms worldwide. This list is incomplete you can help by adding missing items.
