Not sure if you want to keep it to old New York, but Angela Bruno was made in 1951 by his own admission. One or two informants contested this and said it was a little bit later, but I'll take Bruno's word. For perspective, Nicky Scarfo was made in 1954 or 1955.

Paul Castellano is one I've wondered about. Would assume he was brought in during the mid-late 1940s since we now know NY members were being inducted then.
No earlier than Oct 1928 and no later than Dec of 1930.

That makes much more sense I didn't understand it the way I was reading. Thanks for dumbing it down for me lol

what do u mean he was made on his own admission ? Perhaps I'm not understanding the wording you used but he made himself?
Bruno was recorded talking about when he was made.

Didn't they refer to Carlo Gambino as an original or something like that? Would that mean he was an associate/member from the old country or would that mean he became a member in the first wave of members into what he know as the 5 families?

Nothing beyond guesswork which would be early 1920's. Luciano's 1919 year is questionable just like Masseria's 1921 entry is if you consider that that's the year he became boss.

I havent posted in a while but the one thing I Like to know does anybody have any info on whwn guys like say Gambino, Lucchese, Anastasia etc. Were made?
Mob lore has them all as the "young turks" but we know that isnt true. They all went through an induction at some point. I saw on here someone say Luciano was made in 1919. Anybody else?
