Welcome to ATS!
So that's why I'm here, trying to find answers and see if anyone around here has any useful information.
You've come to the right place! Sometimes I find the answers leave more answers!
See you around on the boards

I can tell you that John Wayne was already a famous actor as far back as the 20's and '___' wasn't invented until the 40's and MKUltra not started until the 50's.

Hi Karney.
Welcome to ATS.
Can you clarify please, are you seeking the help of others here, or are you offering others here your assistance?

My great grandfather was a Freemason and was in the FBI during the days of Hoover. He described Hoover as a great man and was proud to shake his hand on many occasions. My great grandmother also worked in government though I can't remember exactly what she did off the top of my head, I believe a typist or something. They had three children, one of which died as a baby. The other two are still alive. My grandmother and great aunt have always been bitter about their parents. My great aunt has always been a deceptive you know what. At my great grandfathers funeral in 2006 she didn't shed a tear as far as I know and she refused to even come inside the church. Choosing instead to smoke her cigarettes (something she would do in my great grandparents house ignoring their request not to). Of course I stuck around to respect and honor his life. Before the funeral started, two men went up to his coffin. They were obviously Freemasons. They had the apron and gloves. I'm not sure what degree he was when he was alive, but those guys made him an honorary 33rd degree, then left. My grandmother has always claimed my great grandparents, particularly her father, were very abusive. Verbally and physically. She has always been far out there, if she could deal with the internet, ATS would be her homepage. My mother was practically raised by my great grandparents because her mother was neglective and abusive in her own way. Not horribly abusive but what's the difference when you're a growing child. My great grandparents were never abusive towards my mother and her brother and neither of them can imagine the accusations by my grandmother and great aunt are true. When my great grandmother died they waited a week to tell us, and did so by sending a card and a lock of her hair via the postal service. They also took everything for themselves, having already taken power of attorney and removing everyone but themselves from the will. So much for my brothers and I inheriting their personal library. According to my mother, her grandfather said we come from noble blood. England most likely, given the last names (Hurst & Nicholson). My great grandparents were certainly of a higher pedigree I'd say. One of these days I'll just have to fork out the cash for ancestry.com or something.
I don't think there was necessarily any ritual abuse or other things like the kind you're talking about but who knows. There isn't really any way for me to find out more about family histories without paying someone for the info.
As for my fathers side I know even less. My grandfather on that side was also a Freemason. Supposedly 32nd degree but I don't know. I don't know anything about him besides he was kicked off the police force for stealing drug evidence, and he struggled with alcoholism off and on. I actually have the journal of either a great grandpa or great great uncle I've considered sharing with ATS. Nothing mysterious. Just how we came to Oregon, from Arkansas, among other things.
Anyway, enjoyed reading your OP. Thanks for sharing. I look forward to reading more of what you have to say here at ATS. Welcome aboard!
Sorry if I wasn't exactly on topic. I think I started out that way at any rate.

Welcome to ATS.
It's a pleasure and honor having you on board.
I was brought here many moons ago in the quest for answers along this vein.
It's always nice to meet someone else with the willingness to dig deeper.
