Does anyone know who the first name on the Bonanno list is? He was serving life at Terre Haute.
Baldo Amato?
He came to mind, but he wasn’t in jail at this time. He would be sentenced to life in the 2000s for murdering Robert Perrino and Sebastiano DiFalco in the early 1990s.
Antonino "Anthony" Aiello is currently serving a life sentence (albeit now in Hazelton), so it may be him.
That has to be him. He was listed as a member in the 80s. I found this article where it says he was convicted in 1988 to life for heroin trafficking. Thanks Snakes.

Yeah, I can post them all this afternoon. There is no page for New Orleans as I am assuming that both names were redacted so they didn't bother to even include that page.

Samuel Bagnasco
Joseph Barbara, Jr.
*2 redacted names
Anthony Corrado
*redacted name
Peter Corrado
Anthony Giacalone
Anthony Giacalone, Sr.
*7 redacted names; the one immediately following Tony Giacalone, Sr. is imprisoned, so I guess that'd have to be Vito.
Vincent Meli
*3 redacted names
Raffaele Quasarano
*redacted name
Anthony Tocco
*4 redacted names
Anthony Zerilli
So this is my guess on the redacted names for Detroit:

Parentheses are my guesses:

Samuel Bagnasco
Joseph Barbara Jr.
(Dominic Bommarito)
(Frank Bommarito)
Anthony Corrado
(Paul Corrado)Either Anthony's son or Dominic's son.
Peter J. Corrado
Anthony Giacalone
Anthony Giacalone Sr.
(Jack V. Giacalone. I looked it up and I think he was still in prison at this time)
(Joseph Giacalone)
(Vito Giacalone)(I think he was out now)
(Anthony Lapiana)
(Dominic Licavoli)
(Bernard Marchesani)
(Joseph Matranga)
Vincent Meli
(Joseph Mirabile)
(Anthony Palazzolo)
(Michael Polizzi)
Rafaelle Quasarano
(Antonino Ruggirello)
Anthony Tocco
(Jack Tocco)
(Nove Tocco)
(Pete Tocco)
(Maybe one of the Tringalis or Triglias)
Anthony Zerilli

I'm surprised Sam Finazzo isn't on there. Or Dominic Allevato. But open to people's ideas.
And no one cares, but I'm changing my Tringali/Triglia guess to Frank Versaci. That makes more sense.

I’ll have to look it up this weekend, but I remember reading somewhere that Antonino Aiello (Ace’s father) was not a member of the Bonnano’s but was made in Sicily, did not “transfer” and remained a member of his Sicilian family after coming to the US. I may be crossing wires here but will follow up when I have a minute over the weekend.

You’re right, Massino testified he was an associate. I hadn’t heard he was made in Sicily. If you find it I’d love to see.

JD mentioned him not being made on his blog. I imagine he got the info from Massino.
