Ancient Order of Druids
« on: Tuesday 25 July 23 18:53 BST (UK) »
Hi, I've learnt that my great grandfather was a member of the Ancient Order of Druids, Royal Victoria Lodge (No.247) in Tunbridge Wells. With his name are the initials P.N.A. and R.A.C. Does anyone know what these stand for?
Also does anyone know if AOD records survive anywhere?
Thanks

Are you on Facebook?  If so the Order has a Facebook page:-

https://www.facebook.com/ancientorderofdruids1781/

You could contact them and ask if they can tell you what the initials mean.
