The MF reference was because there was a file where twenty two captains were listed (exact same 22 as the santantonio report) and even included "Frank Diago" (butchered reference to Dave Amodeo) so 99% chance those 22 on MF were from this report. I mentioned that so there wouldn' tbe confusion over why Gaetano Russo doesn't fit the name (Don Russo is one of the 22 on MF), additionally the redacted name was also active in Bklyn.

There were a couple of Joseph Russos who were made, the redacted name fits "Joe Russo" but I'm not sure he is the person referenced here.

Gaetano Russo had at least 7 daughters so between that and his generic last name it's going to be hard to nail down which son-in-law it might be referring to unless it's someone we already know.

Robert Grillo and the Torregrossas were members of Aurello's crew.

Joseph Delmonico was with Gaggi's crew.

Louis 'Red' Giardina was a member of Traina's crew. Another member with this crew by the early 1960s was Pietro Giallombardo. If still alive, he would have probably with this crew.

Joseph Corrao was not a Capodecina. He and his brother August reported to Paul Castellano.

Peter Castellano / Castellana was with Paul Gambino's crew. Strong likelihood that John Riccobono took over that crew, so you can add Castellana to suspected Riccobono crew.

Frank Bucheano (ph) was with Dongarra's (now Gagliardi) crew by 1963. He might have been deceased by 1980.

Leonardo Grillo was with Zappi.
