Wondering about these as well.



Sam Tumminello

Leonard Franzone

Anthony P. Marullo

Joseph Robert Provenzano - had read there was a decendant from the Provenzano's from the 1890/91 incident but no name attached. Nice!

Hi, wondering where you got these names from. Not disputing them, just wondering as I've done a good bit of digging and not seen these. Thanks.



Chris Albano

Salvador Anthony Boemia

James L. Culotta

Joseph Orimento

Victor Emile Saladino - would this be the same as Joseph Saladino? Have a Joseph but not seen Victor.

Really interesting materials here. Didn't realize there were guys in Houston.
Yes and in until the 1960s the Fertitta and Maceo families operated in Galveston.

So, after Trafficante Jr died in 1987, the Florida Dept of Law Enforcement racked Vicent LoScalzo venturing out to New Orleans and Dallas to meet with Joe Marcello and Joe Campisi, respectively. Though they considered Campisis to be the "boss" of, it was operating under the wing of New Orleans, and not sure that there were many guys left in Dallas at that point. Around that same time,police were intercepting calls between Tampa and New Orleans (Joe Marcello), talking about shipping crates of tomatoes back and forth. Though the Marcellos were, ostensibly, tomato salesmen, it was believed that the terms "tomatoes" was slang for cocaine. There were some busts of some ancillary Tampa guys for coke at the time, but nothing concrete was traced back to NO.

Not in terms of how the feds would define that term.

One 2012 article mentioned an FBI chart from 2006 showing 23 remaining members. Since then several have died. Another article from earlier this year talked about hie “LCN was all but dead in Western New York” and the FBI no longer considered it to have a presence in the region. According to the FBI, some individuals who were leaders in the Buffalo LCN were still around but there was no leader, no viable organization, “their organized crime activities didn't exist anymore,” and some had legitimate businesses.

In the early and mid 2000s there were some scattered cases here and there of the a member, or some loosely connected associates, involved in this or that but really the last significant case of the Buffalo family was back in 1996 when Laborers Local 210 was put under federal oversight.

New Orleans was also heavily involved with Dallas as well with many Dallas members and associates having been born and raised in Louisiana.

In addition to the 5 families you also had the DeCavalacantes, Chicago, Philly, Detroit, Buffalo, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Tampa and the Bufalinos all having a presence in South Florida at one time or another. Don't recall if the Patriarcas ever did but it wouldn't surprise me. There could have been other families as well.


In addition the Chicago Outfit also had operations in Dallas at one time.

Most credible sources and law enforcement say no, they haven't been active since the early 2000s at most.

All of those families are gone, though Tampa does still have a handful of members still alive. But there hasn't been any activity there since the early-mid 2000s. New Orleans has like 1 or 2 still alive but no recent activity outside of that bizarre weapons van thing. A big gambling bust also extended into the area but it didnt involve anyone from that family. Mainly Gambino connected if I remember right. For years now, the only real mob activity has been in the south Florida area where the NY families operate.

I was wondering this myself. Coppola spent time in Illinois in the early 30s as part of a big kidnap gang. I do know he was deported in 1948 so from 1933 to 1948 I have no idea where he was.
