If I understand the tenets of the Society correctly your Grandfather should be more than willing to speak with you. It is their policy not to promote but wait for a person to ask before giving out information.

Membership is by invitation also as I understand it. You have to have a sponsor. Then you start the process.... various levels etc.

also see~ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry
""Freemasonry is a fraternal organization, existing in various forms worldwide, whose membership has shared moral and metaphysical ideals and in most of its branches requires a constitutional declaration of belief in a Supreme Being.[1]
The fraternity uses the metaphor of operative stonemasons' tools and implements, against the allegorical backdrop of the building of King Solomon's Temple, to convey what is most generally defined as "a system of morality veiled in allegory and illustrated by symbols."[2]""
actually quite interesting. Perhaps communication with your family elder would be a bit more educational than some website.
