Bonadio and Joe Adonis were not related. This was confirmed during the Kefauver hearings:

So you believe Joe A. would not lie under oath? You might be correct that they are not cousins but him saying it doesn’t really convince me. He’s trusting this guy too much. What do you think their connection is if they are not related?

Do you think Paul Bonadio could have possibly been a bagman for the mob? He took two trips to Bermuda, traveling solo.

October 3, 1937

November 29, 1954

Request access from the Boss, if he thinks you’re solid you’ll get the ok.

They’re in the Black Hand Articles section.

If the search isn't dicked up, basically anything with a relevant subject started by Angelo, B, Hairy Knuckles, Chin, and a couple others I may be forgetting. You will get good information and discussion about the Genovese and that time period from any of their posts.

Is there nothing available on the internet?

As good as one can be in this crazy world we are living in.

Can’t wait to find out what all of you thought about when Frank Cali was killed. Yes, it’s been that long. I am sure you have a thread on here about it. Hope all is well.

Great thread!
I’m pretty sure he was a Gambino member

Bonadio was partnered with Gambino underboss Salvatore “Charles” Chiri in the Auto Conveying co. He moved to Cliffside Park, NJ in ~1937 from NYC.

I don't know if they were cousins. Bonadio, Chiri, Willie Moretti, Paul Palmeri, Joe Adonis, and Albert Anastasia all lived in Bergen County, NJ and mixed with each other.

Interesting info. It appears so. I did some digging just now and saw that Paul’s father, Nicholas Bonadio, was with the Teamsters which is listed as his occupation on his petition for naturalization. He also states that he comes from Potenza, Italy. Adonis is from the Province of Avellino. So, you may be right that they are not related. More digging is needed for that. It seems like Bonadio’s affiliation as a teamster and living in Brooklyn is more relevant. His sons and grandsons are pretty much the same age too as Adonis and the others and must have come up together.

There was talk that maybe Adonis and some others were part of the Mangano family early on and switched to the Luciano/Genovese family. Can anyone confirm this? All of those men you mentioned were in Cliffside Park and Fort Lee running things. They were a part of that Italian neighborhood which was made up mostly of Napolitanos and Calabrese.
