Information about Grand Lodges throughout the World
Number of Members, Number of Lodges, Derived From, and Year Founded
(information from Freemasonry Universal, by Kent Henderson & Tony Pope)
Note that information about number of members and number of lodges may not be accurate, and might only concern one of several Grand Lodges in a particular country. The statistical information on this chart is as accurate as I could obtain, but it is probably far from being truly accurate.
