Yes I was referring to the 1930s. I found these different conflicts :
-Avena vs Bruno 5 year war(can't find anything really)
-Numbers Racket Gang War Avena vs Lanzetta Brothers
-Bruno vs Lanzetta Brothers (after Avena hit, 3 hits)
-Bruno vs Piccolo Faction (4 hits)

I have developed the habit of taking notes in a new Word document when I read a book or any other source, and I store these in folders organised by family. When one source applies to multiple families I might split my notes into multiple documents. For instance, for the 25 Years After Valachi senate report, I have one document in my Genovese folder on Cafaro's testimony, and another in my Cleveland folder for Lonardo's testimony, etc.

I also save my own copies of sources when possible because you never know when things could be taken down.

There were a few conflicts in the 1920s and 30s, do you mean those? I agree the Morello books are going to be your best bet for those. I'd only be summarizing what she published on those. The Frank Piccolo conflict is the most interesting one to me as he was a made member revolting against the leadership.

I've got no system whatsoever. Mostly stored in the brain and occasional random notes in Windows Notepad but nothing I organize or hold onto. Not the best approach truthfully as it's easy for things to get lost. This board is great as a point of reference as posting things not only stores it somewhere but writing about it helps burn it into my memory.

Look up Celeste Morello (author) for books on early Philly history.
