I seem to remember reading it in Capeci's book about Gotti but I don't have access to it right now.

The Brooklyn faction in turn was separate from the Manhattan-Queens group but basically started when Frank Cocchiaro (who had roots in the former group) was made capodecina and eventually sponsored a bunch of local Brooklyn/Staten Island gangsters. Then other guys who operated in Manhattan were recruited into the Brooklyn faction but these Manhattan guys weren't rooted in the original Manhattan-Queens group, at least not directly. But anyway, the original New York group of the Family could go back to the 1890s/early 1900s and then branched into Elizabeth when the Merlos moved there around 1907 and many more Riberesi moved there in the 1910s/20s.

Ragusa, Syrakusa, Messina have plenty of well known mafia members in America but Catania less so, right? Less immigration due to being the biggest city/economic hub in eastern Sicily maybe?
