Gambino 1960's Chart (in progress)

[nash143]

I really like what you’ve done with the maps and pie charts- let alone everything else. When you see all the members laid out, it makes you really appreciate the scale of the family.

Ignatius DiBella (Feb 12, 1922)
Paul DiBella (March 1, 1920)

Bronx is correct that Robby is Paul's brother, not his AKA. The 1940 census lists a match of two bros (posted above) which lists Robby as born in 1922 (not 1925) but I'm having issues locating him. Robby does match Ignazio's DOB which means it could possibly be him but I'm not certain.

Trying to look up a Joseph Franco that I have listed as being born in 1910. There's just too many people with that name. But I did come across one born in Lercara Friddi 1911 with one witness being Salvatore Lucania, barber, 1840 3rd Ave. Is that Charley Lucky? Even if so, I don't know if this is the right Joseph Franco but it's still interesting.

That Salvatore Lucania could have been a cousin of Lucky Luciano, but it wasn't him. This one was born October 12, 1878, in Lercara. Charlie Lucky was born in 1897 and, as far as I know, never worked as a barber. Interesting coincidence though.

[Angelo Santino]

This HAS to be the right Joseph Franco and if so, his parents are from Sarno, Salerno which was where the Mancusos and Squillantes came from. This Franco is unrelated to the Francos from Agrigento.

Yes, they were brothers. Ignatius must have had "Robby" as a nickname. Their father´s name was Anthony (possibly Antonio).

Match?

If this guy had a son named Peter or Pete or Pietro, then it´s most likely a match.

[Angelo Santino]

Found him. Peter married a Gugielmini which connects that family, his father was Francesco, DOB: c. 1895 who died in 1948. Does that sound right?

Last guy is Joe Ox, what town in Sicily does his people hail from? Maybe B. or Bronx knows?

Once that is covered, I'll add "no photos" to the guys (200 or so) that we don't have photos of, send it over to Michael DiLeonardo who may be able to correct some of it. Same goes for the 80's which is wrapping up. Once he gives it his christening I'll post it.

This isn't just a chart, alot of work and research went into it. If Soliai wants I can do a heavily watermarked copy for release (smaller res) here and it could be sold on a Black Hand Store as a higher res poster. I don't need the money or even a percentage, it all can go into furthering this "forum of ours" but I will use my real name and I would like the credit for the work that went into it on my end alongside the others. Up to you, Soliai.

1948 or 1958?

[Angelo Santino]

1948.

1948.

Ok. Is this from a reputable source? If so, it´s intreresting, because that could mean Paul Castellano was a skipper already in 1948. If memory serves, I have seen info that Paul took over from Frank Castellana.
