[Joehardy215]

Can anyone please send me some information about this conflict. Im a Philadelphian born & raised, I been looking into everything about Family history for about 20 years now. I really loved the mob archeologist podcast and if you guys could message me id really appreciate it !

Look up Celeste Morello (author) for books on early Philly history.

I was just curious after this question was posted. Because I've been wondering, How do you guys store your research? Do you have word/pdf files for each individual you are researching? Do you sort it all by family's, or by years? If you were to just give this guy your hard research, what would that consist of?

There were a few conflicts in the 1920s and 30s, do you mean those? I agree the Morello books are going to be your best bet for those. I'd only be summarizing what she published on those. The Frank Piccolo conflict is the most interesting one to me as he was a made member revolting against the leadership.

I've got no system whatsoever. Mostly stored in the brain and occasional random notes in Windows Notepad but nothing I organize or hold onto. Not the best approach truthfully as it's easy for things to get lost. This board is great as a point of reference as posting things not only stores it somewhere but writing about it helps burn it into my memory.

I have developed the habit of taking notes in a new Word document when I read a book or any other source, and I store these in folders organised by family. When one source applies to multiple families I might split my notes into multiple documents. For instance, for the 25 Years After Valachi senate report, I have one document in my Genovese folder on Cafaro's testimony, and another in my Cleveland folder for Lonardo's testimony, etc.

I also save my own copies of sources when possible because you never know when things could be taken down.

Yes I was referring to the 1930s. I found these different conflicts :
-Avena vs Bruno 5 year war(can't find anything really)
-Numbers Racket Gang War Avena vs Lanzetta Brothers
-Bruno vs Lanzetta Brothers (after Avena hit, 3 hits)
-Bruno vs Piccolo Faction (4 hits)

What information do you have on this? Don't recall hearing much on this.
