No, these Limas were Sicilian.

Good stuff and thanks. I also think that one Leonard Calamia was instrumental in the DeJohn hit

Good article but this bosses talked with the feds but don't ratted in a trial like did more bosses from Fratianno to Massino.

Ed,

Great article. Really enjoyed it.


Thanks. I wonder if Lima's informant file contains information about some of the early unknown LCN bosses that I've seen you speculate about in the past.

Thanks. Agreed. I mention him in one of the endnotes.

Hey Ed, great article. I've seen the Pittsburgh quotes before but didn't know it came from him. Was there anything about Salvatore or Sebastiano Lima that arrived in SF in the early 1910's? They are of
interest to me.

Thanks again.

[Ed]

Thanks Chris.

In the available files, he just mentions that his uncle was a member and that he was dead. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but Lima began to cooperate in 1965, the same year his uncle died.(assuming limey's dates are correct).

From the best I can tell, he doesn't mention anything about his cousin or his own son who were allegedly members.(according to limey)

BTW, you cleared up why Lima went to SF, presumably to follow his uncle. I wonder if Tony Lima was marred to his wife/first cousin by the time he relocated or if that happened once he settled in SF.

Good article, I liked it a lot, it's interesting to see that Vito Genovese ended up not being the only boss that harmed LCN in the 60s decade, I hope one day will be revealed the reasons that led him to do this, since at that time the Omerta was strong .

Good read, Ed. Thanks.

His uncle Sebastiano? He was an earlier leader of some sort, capo or boss I don't know. His group, while connected to Pittsburgh and Johnstown they seemed to be based out of Marion, OH but perhaps I'm mistaken. It's still research in process but what I can say is he's not the only ORV Ital to go wagons east. San Francisco and Vallejo were linked to the ORV early on since the early '10's.

When the Limas moved to SF they went to Taraval St, above two miles east from the Pedone's on San Pablo Ave. But I've had no luck connecting them. The Limas seem to fall off my radar after they left. I don't know whether the move was OC-related or seeking economic opportunity.
