[Angelo Santino]

1) Bill Feather's site is an excellant resource but 1950's to 1980's is too broad for what doing.
http://mafiamembershipcharts.blogspot.c ... /Cleveland

2) Joe Lonardo is his early days was in business with a FNU Zingale. On Mr. Feather's list includes:
Zingale-Joseph 1922-83 1960-80's Sol
Zingale-Thomas*1930- Joseph[?] 1970- Sol

Anyone have any additional info?

[toto]

1965 one should have Angelo Lonardo.

my notes are telling me they are cousins and not brothers , THe zingales were heroin dealers and muscle . I believe they from woodland ave area in my opinion i dont think they were made guys

[Angelo Santino]

They were from Woodland, yes.

I don't know if they were made or not in the 1960's but that family (lower case f) seems to have historical connections to the local syndicate. Not always as 3rd or 4th generation members but sometimes through purely legitimate ventures and often when you scratch the surface a bit you find they are related in some way. There was a photo of Joe Tocco in 2010 taken with a Manzella, I don't know if they were made or not or if this Manzella is even OC linked but it's auspicious that an earlier leader was also named Manzella. Anyway with the Zingales I'm willing to bet their lineage was Licatese (Lonardos, Porellos, Brancato, F, Onero and others) but it'd be wise to check.

BTW, do you have any take on Akron or its significance, that city goes back to the 1910's as well.

[Angelo Santino]

Could you assist me with Cleveland's made members as well as their locations? You'll get sourced.

I want to show Cleveland and maybe Pittsburgh's charts slightly different than the ones I've made previously, more like a network than the traditional LCN structure. Everyone knows the mob ranking system like the back of their hand so there's no need for that. Especially when both Families had 40-50 made members max by the 60's but had representation in multiple cities and in Pittsburgh's case, three states. The majority of members were concentrated in CL, YT and PB but in other cities like an Akron or a Toledo you had what seems to be a soldier or Captain with maybe 2 soldiers under him and that's it.

I have allot of the guys mapped out from the work i was doing on the chart before, i been working on getting all the pictures rouned up.

no question there ties run deep , yes i believe there sicilian but i dont know if there licatese , Thomas went onto become a pretty decent sized book, If my memory serves me correct he used to hang with the guys at the billards hall in northfeild

[Angelo Santino]

Who's photos are you missing?

[Adam]

I've always seen Besase listed as part of the Detroit family. That has always seemed pretty consistent with Detroit being in charge of Toledo.

James Tropdi who was in charge of stuebenville
Argento-Tommaso lima/cleveland

Are Bonadonna through Pizzuto Cleveland city based?

Thanks.
