Michael Spinella was of Marinese descent.

Also, what are the most accurate size estimates for the Genovese around this time? 248 names (about 50 I need on), if the Family was suspected at 300 or 350 then that's 50-100 members we have virtually no information on.

Unless I'm wrong, the Zullos aren't related. Also, Anthony Zullo, assuming I have the right guy, died in 1943.

I believe he lied about his non-membership when he initially cooperated. He was carried as a member by the FBI and you had sources who knew him to be made:

When I went through Boiardo's FBI file I felt the totality of evidence supported that he was made rather than what he first told the FBI.

Yeah Liborio Bellomo was still alive and deserves to be included as suspected member. I'm sure Eboli agrees. Coincidence, but when he did federal time circa 1940 he was housed near Carl Civella of the KC Family in the same wing.

Could place him as a suspected member of the Coppola crew since his murdered cousin Amato and son+grandson were with that crew.

Don't know if his son Salvatore Bellomo was confirmed as a member this far back but should be on the list as a suspected member. Confirmed by 1970s before he died so probably made by 1963.

Bingo. Should be confirmable by other info on the census sheets. Also, there are two sides to Mosholu that are treated as separate streets (same as Pelham Pkwy), Mosholu North and Mosholu South.

I'm going over the list of 50 guys that I'm missing info on. I'll exhaust my best efforts before asking for help. If no one here knows then I'll mark it off as complete as can be.

First up

Pasquale R Eboli: his address, occupation and wife's name. I can't find him in the 1950 census nor any FBI reports that give his address.

2nd

Gerard Laietta
Jerry Ryan
2/28/1906 NYC
47-50 41 Sunnyside, Long Island, NY
Giusepe Laietta
Maria Rubertone Anzi, Potenza, Basilicata
Angelina DiMelfi
Employed by Henry Cristafano
FBI # 571701

His mother was from Anzi, Potenza, Basilicata and their family moved to Hammonton, NJ. In 1900 she married "Giuseppe Laitta." He is difficult to track down. There's no one with that surname and most of the results are Liota. There are Giuseppe Liotta's and Leto to a smaller extent but they don't match. There was one document which listed a name close to his but I'm not seeing the name anywhere on the document.

This could very well be him. Name is close and he arrived in 1899. This is from 1906 and unfortunately doesn't list his wife's name. Says he was born in Napoli.
