Territories were to a degree fluid. However, a territorial base was always the best way to ensure that the enterprises run by a crime group were protected...

Yale was, according to Bonanno, aligned with the Joe the Boss Masseria organization. The D'Aquila group and Yale never had any trouble. No idea why you...

The Terranovas and Morellos were loosely part of the same group. But loosely. Out of which the Reina Family may have developed. Certainly, Stefano (Steve)...
That is as far back as I could trace references to. I admit I am a novice, but hope to become more educated as to the facts. If anyone knows answers to these...

Profaci probably took over from Yale, but the consensus is that Capone was behind the Yale murder. But Yale was also an underworld power in Bay Ridge, which...
Hey Heavy, I think you've been getting a bunch of bad information from some sources. If you reveal the names, we can caution other researchers to steer clear...

I understand, as a one time novice myself. It also helps to know which books you are reading, since there is a lot of misinformation out there. There are no...

I understand that you are a beginner. So far as anyone knows, the Morellos were the first Mafia Family in New York City. There seems to have been Mafia...
Capone was Navy street. The reason many mention Capone as being a member of the Five Points gang was that Johnny Torrio was the leader of the James Street gang...
I think a strong argument could be made that the Camorra was not destroyed in 1917 but simply continued in a smaller role before being absorbed into Masseria's...

True, but I would say that the influence of the non-Sicilians in the Mafia rose after 1917. None of those the the Camorra organizations went into the Mafia....
I would argue that Joe Adonis's crew based in the same area as Navy Street and the remnants of Yale's Coney Island crew (despite his being calabrian) could be...
YES YES YES...finally!! Dave! This is the book I've been wanting to read for YEARS!!! It'll be well worth the wait, I suppose. Now I'm going to be like a kid...

No, Joe Adonis primarily operated in Brooklyn about Union Street, where he had a resaurant. Navy Street and Johnson Street are a way from there. Of course,...
Here's an interesting question. Any possibility D'Aquila's group (possibly with Profaci in it?) hijack Capone shipments of liquor as well or instead of Yale?...
Heavy, I wouldn't go quite that far, but I think you're onto something. (Please note that this is all merely speculation. DaveC would surely note that there is...
I'll have to disagree a bit on the location of Joe Adonis's area of operation. Union street in those days ran between Prospect and Henry leading straight into...
Tom, So its possible Profaci was an acquantence of Yale? Or was he under D'Aquila, being he supposedly removed Mineo & Ferrigno? Or am I just following a...

Hi, Thom. Hope all is well with you. I suppose the first thing is that much of what any of us say is not too well supported by the evidence, my own theories...
Dave, I understand that I'm out on a limb with some of my speculation. But it's not like I'm arguing for the Easter Bunny. You are certainly aware that...
I agree with Dave on that and I pretty much just take anything originally created by the media of that time (prone to over sensationalism that would make Paris...
