Illinois Masonic Family Identification Program

Start: Saturday, October 26, 2024 8:00AM
End: Sunday, October 27, 2024 2:00AM

HOW IT WORKS

The Freemasons of Illinois hold and fund the entire cost of the identification workshops for families all around the State. These Illinois Masonic Family Identification Program events are sponsored by local Masonic Lodges and held at neighborhood functions or at community schools. They put together everything parents or other family members need to help the authorities find their lost child or older adults. It's the most comprehensive program of its kind and is FREE OF CHARGE to parents or family members.

WHAT YOU GET AT AN EVENT

COLOR PHOTO: Receive a photo including height notation that is digitized on a convenient USB drive.

RECORDED INTERVIEW: Capture the appearance, speech patterns, personal characteristics, and mannerisms for easy media distribution.

A DNA SAMPLE: Take a saliva cheek swab, the latest tool in the scientific arsenal to make a positive ID of lost children.

FINGERPRINTS: The oldest form of positive identification as they are unique to every person.

**Please note: The materials listed are provided to the family members at the IMFID events, and none of those personal items are retained by the Freemasons facilitating the event.**
