By the looks of it, DeQuarto seems to have been very close to Bender, Tommy Ryan and that crew. For example, he is mentioned by both Konigsberg and Valachi as being present at meetings with members of this crew discussing and planning several murders in the late 1950s and early 1960s. So chances are that he was a Bender/Eboli crew member already back then. If what Valachi said about him being a caporegime is true, it could be that he was acting for Bender at some point.

I think the last name would probably be Filipazzo. I notice several people in New York by that surname who originally came from Agrigento, esp. Porto Empedocle.

When I serched for Dom Alongi´s father on that libertyellis site, I found several Giuseppe Alongis who had arrived to America from the province of Agrigento. So it´s not totally impossible that the Alongis were from there originally.

I believe Morello traveled there in the 1890's, returned again in 1902ish and in 1908 had written a letter to the NO Boss consenting for him to "reorganize" the "Family." But he was the BOB during that time and Lupo also appeared to have connections there.

Doesn't get more thorough than this. I've learned a ton about the Genovese family through your posts. Thanks!

If the Alongis were originally from the general Corleone area that'd make me curious if his relatives were tied to the old Morello family. Not too many of those post-1930s.

Cefala Diana would be a good location since many New Orleans members were from Corleone and that was near it. Saverio Pollaccia also came from there.

Something else of interest is that "Dom the Sailor" DeQuarto is listed as part of his crew, but Valachi said that DeQuarto was a caporegime himself. If that's true then he was demoted.

Do you know if Alongi's parents from Corleone as well? Gagliano's as we know are and that's before the connection of Majuri's to Gagliano's which B. has mentioned on here a while ago.
Thanks!

I don´t know his father´s name and time of arrival to America. That would definitely help in order to find out where exactly the Alongis came from. If somebody knows (at least his name), we could take a look on the libertyellisfoundation.org site.
Name: Dominick Joseph Alongi
[Dominick Alongi]
SSN: 113205279
Gender: Male
Race: White
Birth Date: 17 Apr 1926
Birth Place: N Y, New York
Father Name: Joseph Alongi
Mother Name: Rose Philipaso
Death Date: Mar 1980
Type of Claim: Original SSN.
Notes: Nov 1943: Name listed as DOMINICK JOSEPH ALONGI; 31 Dec 1987: Name listed as DOMINICK ALONGI

Another source gives his father's name as "Salud Alongi" and his mother and Antoinette.

A bunch of Giuseppe Alongis found. So it need to be narrowed down even further. This entry seems to be best match (if the father was from the Palermo province and around the town of Corleone, and if the father entered US via New York, and was born in Italy, and entered sometime prior to the 1920s):

Giuseppe Alongi, 27 years old, arrived in 1902 from Cefala Diana (village located between the city of Palermo and Corleone). Married. He stated that he was heading to relatives in New Orleans.

Can´t find any entry on a Philipaso, or Filipaso, or Fillipaso, or Fillipasso etc.

Didn't Cafaro also claim that Alongi was the Consiglieri? I seem to remember that.

I don´t remember. But if he did, it can probably be found in the "25 years after Valachi" report.

The claim that Alongi being the consigliere perhaps should not be dismissed. There´s a gap from mid 1977 to 1980 in his file when the FBI closed his case. But in the FBI document that said he had died of a heart attack, he is listed as a captain. Who knows, he may have been acting consigliere some time in that time frame.

Great post. Some ver interesting info in it. I had no idea that Alongi was related to the NO Gagliano's. Another possible reason for the La Stella meeting was a leadership dispute in the NO family between the Marcello's and Anthony Corallo and Frank Gaglaino. If I remember right Corallo and Gagliano wanted Marcello to step down.
