I've continued to do research about each of these murders, especially to find out the ties -- among many possible ties -- between the victims, between the confirmed and suspected killers, and between individuals in all the aforementioned groups.
More recently, I've dug a bit more deeply into the family tree of the Toronto-based criminal figure Giacinto Arcuri (1930-2021) who some Canadian authors have all but accused of being one of the killers in the August 1955 murder in Sicily of onetime Cattolica Eraclea mayor Giuseppe Spagnolo (1900-1955).
Long story, short (sort of):
1. I might have finally determined how Arcuri is related to brothers Domenico Arcuri Sr. (1933-2012) of the Montreal area and Giuseppe Arcuri (1921-2001) of the Bronx. Domenico and Giuseppe's father, Giacinto (1900-1993), is a brother of the Rosario Arcuri (1895-1934) killed in the Bronx in a possible retaliation for the murder of Vito Rizzuto Sr. (1901-1933) in Patterson, NY.
2. I might have also determined, using contributions by other users of Ancestry and FamilySearch, that Rosario is an uncle to Giacinto if, indeed, Rosario is the brother of Giacinto's father, Emanuele (1901-1986). Which means that Giacinto is a first cousin to Domenico and Giuseppe, which was one of two theories presented by authors Humphreys and Lamothe in The Sixth Family.
3. I might have discovered information that could potentially rule out this Giacinto Arcuri as being involved in the murder of Spagnolo, as Spagnolo might have been Arcuri's uncle if, indeed, Giacinto's mother, Francesca Spagnolo (1903-1976), is the sister of Giuseppe Spagnolo. So the Giacinto Arcuri the Italian authorites tried in absentia for the murder of Giuseppe Spagnolo was in fact an altogether different person.
I want to make a series of posts on X (the former Twitter) about the murders and the numerous interesting ties but in this TBHF thread I would like to elaborate a lot more on my research. For the former, where the posts would come from my @CdnOrgC account, I want to credit B. for the help in determining that the murdered Rosario Arcuri is the great uncle of Domenico Arcuri Jr. and Antonino Arcuri of the Montreal area (i.e., the sons of Domenico Arcuri Sr.). So if B. is okay with my crediting him as Eric Stonefelt, B., or Barbarian -- contingent on my research being correct -- he should let me know here so his permission is made public, as my intention and promise to credit him is also now made public; and if B. wants me to credit @TheMobArchs in my eventual posts on X, he should let me know whether he needs to discuss with Angelo, Rick, and Tony first, as I know that account is not as active as it first was (but I can help that account grow followers on X!).
