Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)

[Antiliar]

I found a document that said he came from Maiori, Salerno, Campania.

I think that one was born in 1885/86 and didn't have a son name Andrew. He may have been single when Andrew was born.

[Angelo Santino]

I think Andrew's father was Felippo (Phillip) Ferriaola born in 1882, but don't have a POB for him.

The Andrew P that CC posted was married to a woman named Charlotte. There was an Andrew P Ferraiola from BK, born 1906, who married a Charlotte Schmidt. This Andrew’s parents were Phillip Michael Ferraiola (born about 1880) and Anna. The birth record that CC posted states that Andrew’s mother was named Anna but that her maiden name was “Coccia”. This Andrew’s mother seems to have been an Anna Kirchner, born in Germany. Could be the wrong person, or “Coccia” may have been the way that her Italian husband pronounced “Kirchner” (lol). Phillip Michael Ferraiola was naturalized in 1917, where he stated that his wife was named Anna and born in Germany and listed his son Andrew (with a birth date of September 24, 1905) among his children. The document states that he was born in “Alleto”, which off the top of my head I can’t link to any town that I can recall.

The Andrew P Ferriole that CC posted in the first document I believe is the same guy. Whether this is the Andrew Ferraiola from the Gambinos, I have no idea.

That's the same one I found. Couldn't figure out Alieto either. Maybe Oliveto Citra in Salerno. I wonder if they knew he was half German.

He would be person number 2 who was half German on his mother's side who was made.

Yes I think that’s right.

I think you’re probably right about Oliveto Citra. If you notice, the town appears more than once on that naturalization document and the spelling in the other instances looks like “Olleto” or “Olieto”.

[Angelo Santino]

John "Johnny Cash" Casablanca was born 1942/12/11 and finding his background has been rather difficult for the 1980's chart.

In 1963 there were two brothers and what I believe to be a cousin who could all potentially be Johnny Cash's dad-

Casablanca John 7/30/1909 Vincent Limina Angelina Costa
Casablanca joseph 9/19/1911 NYC Vincent Limina Angelina Costa
Casablanca vincent 9/29/1913 NYC John Limina Filippa

Hairy, was Frank Locascio made by this point? I feel like I’ve seen him being made pre-1957

[HairyKnuckles]

I was debating with my self whether or not to put Locascio on the list and decided not to in the end. I have not seen him listed by the FBI as made this early. There are internet rumors of him being made in the 1950s but no evidence of it. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I believe he was made later.

[Angelo Santino]

When Gentile absconded back to Sicily in 1936 he never detailed any further family transfers. I know he was in contact with the Biondo due to confiscated letters in the 50s, but is there any further evidence that his affiliation remained Gambino?

He fell off the radar and later died bitter and shelved in Sicily for pulling a Bonanno, but aside from that hes an enigma. Speculation, but given his Siculiana roots, the amount of Sciaccatani in the NY Gambinos, his and elements of the Sciaccatan fiction's involvement in narcotics, he would have been well placed to act as an intermediator and facilitator in cross-Atlantic deals, so keeping his Gambino affiliation would have been a plus.

But falling back down to earth. If he kept his Gambino membership and tried to involve himself in some situation in Sicily, they might not have been able to back him up in sit downs, not to mention any activity he committed would have fallen under the Gambino flag and perhaps groups in Sicily may see that as an encroachment, it may have been simpler and more easier for him to transfer to a local family.

Chris, I have added Thomas DeBrizzi in the D-G post. Missed him when I made the original post.

So former captains before 1963 I have-

Joseph Franco - 1957
Vincent "Jimmy" Squilante - 1960
Armand Rava - 1968
Anthony Rizzo - 1962
John "Johnny Roberts" Riboloto - 1958
Francisco "Frank" Castellano - 1956
Steven Armone - 1960
Antonio "Bada Noste" Paterno - 1956
Jerome “Jerry Mummy” D'Aquila - ?
Pasquale "Patsy" Corbi (I'm still confused about Baltimore succession to be honest)

Anybody else?

(I was initially going to do crew succession showing what presents succeeded the former but it takes up too much space and this isn't a succession chart. I can make a note "Succeeded ___" though.)

Former captains:
- Simone "Sam" Riccobono (died in 1951)
- Antonio Indelicato (stepped down or demoted in the 1950s)
- Philip Mangano (murdered in 1951)
- (possibly a captain) Vincent "Jimmy" Macri (murdered in 1954)

[Angelo Santino]

Fortunato Cicciu born 1917, died 2004 Bronx NY.

John (Johnny Pie) DeMatteo born 1916, died 2005 Scarsdale NY.

G'day. I found Cicciu based off of your info, thank you, but I cant find where he came from. Surname Cicciu is documented in 9 community but its scattered throughout eastern Sicily, Calabria, Naples and northern italy. Any idea where he was from?

Happy holidays.

[Bruno187]

I'm almost 100% positive it's Sicily. Not quite sure where. I know the guys he was with were from the Borgo Nuovo part of Palermo, but you can't really go by that.
As an aside, I saw that reference to Pietro Angelo d.1985 who was in the Tommy Gambino, Joe Gambino Bronx Westchester crew. I'm thinking that might have been the Pietro "the Baker" that I referenced as one of the guys who went shopping for his button. I know the date of death is about right, and he would have most certainly been in that crew as well. I just never knew the guy's last name. He did live on Hoffman St. in the Bronx, not Franklin Lakes or NJ as I think was conjectured. Hope that helps even a little bit.
Merry Christmas to all.
