Find this article online about Mirabile. I thought it was pretty informative.

I think Big Frank Matranga was related to John Priziola of Detroit, but Bomp said he wasn't a made guy. He was just a relative. Same for several other Matrangas. Willie "the Rat" Cammisano of KC also lived in San Diego but was still with KC. California was home to a lot of people from other Families, but those people didn't form crews in California. Just like Tony Accardo lived in Palm Springs but was still with Chicago. Others, like Gaspare Matranga, transferred from their previous Families to the Los Angeles Family.

OlBlueEyesClub is right,

I am far from perfect and have been wrong before.

My sources in Det have told me Papa Tony Mirabile was Detroit's capo in San Diego and his crew was passed to Joe Matranga, Papa John Priziola's son-in-law, back in the day - Matranga died in '99.

I think they always had some ties , one interesting thing if accurate according to what ray ferrito told the FBI after he flipped . Licavoli had offered to make ferrito in Detroit and give him part of the Youngstown rackets . Now he could of been just talking out of the side of his mouth as well.

Ferrito said he'd be made in Cleveland. He left LA to get made there.

I don't remmember any mention of Detroit with him.
