I moved Tommy Bruno to Gagliardo´s crew (later Giordano´s crew). Bruno under Gagliardo makes sense, he was very close to Joe Gallo.

I got all the birthdates added. Thank you for that.

Regarding T.Bruno, if you make any changes on who goes where can you post where you moved the person from? Thanks.

Here's where I'm at. Can everyone go through this chart and suggest any further changes on who goes where. There's going to have to be a cut off point because the further along I get the harder it is to edit. But right now I'm still researching people's backgrounds, I'm still in the captains so doing 250-some names will take me some time so in the meantime we can iron out any further changes. If anyone wants to throw in it'd be greatly appreciated but its not required. I may have questions on some people whom I can't locate without more info.

NOTE: The names and DOB's are done but the backgrounds aren't so most people are listed as Napolitan, it's just a placeholder, I have yet to go through any of the soldiers backgrounds.

Same. We're going with the white.

I may do something different with the soldiers, it's all one big boring block. But before I do any rearranging I need to get the crews finalized so there's no more changes. In the meantime I'll just be digging into backgrounds.

Thanks!

Well, we can only speculate about soldiers crew affiliations since not enough info/confirmation is out there. I can make suggestions on most likelihood but it could jeopardize the corectness of your work. What if more info comes out in (let´s say) five years and show a soldier´s crew affiliation was totally wrong?

Btw, the white background looks better in my opinion.

If we don't know then we don't know, I'm not trying to force things to fit. I was just trying to avoid 3-4 people coming at me with new information after I posted what was intended to be the finished chart. So I was just going to give people time and then I can't make any more changes. The last person I'll run the info by is DiLeonardo and then I'll finalize the soldier layout.

Just seeing the sheer wall of captains laid out like that is visually impressive. There were families that didn't even have that many members.

I can include an asterisk, "suspected crew affilation," as long as we avoid stating something as 100% confirmed, I think it would be ok.

And for later-
Alfonso Mosca Jr - Arcuri crew - (confirmed) I'll have to ask DiLeonardo if the Mosca family were all part of the same crew or spread out, if same that would add 4 names to that decina.

Giosafat Sptaleri - Conte crew - (most likely)

Also, updated the 1st post of this thread on the 1st page. Names in red I could use some help on in their backgrounds if anyone knows more or wishes to have a go at ancestry or family search.

There´s already an asterix for suspected member/made shortly after 1980. But you could put something else in front of name noting suspected crew affiliation.

Were the Moscas related to the Squitieris? Alfonso Sr married a Sally who is Alfano Jr's mom and I can't find her surname. I wonder if it is Squitieri but need to verify.
