You'd better read this book

Full disclosure: I'm a Mason. Please read "Born in Blood: The Lost Secrets of Freemasonry," by John J. Robinson. The book was written by a non-Mason historian who concentrated on medieval history and based on years of research and not Masonic mythology and legend. He very effectively (I believe beyond a doubt) establishes that Freemasonry evolved over the centuries from the Knights Templar.
