Hi all, I've posted many a question on this board before, but I had to leave it alone for a while... but now I'm back! My question today is....Doesn't everyone in the mafia have to be a made man? I ask this becuase what if Mike's son Anthony wanted to take control of the family one day, would he be able to? I thought you had to be 100% italian to become a "made man" or a boss, and technically he wouldn't be becuase his mother (Kay) was not Italian. Most likely, he'd be able to because of who his father was...just an observation.

Your thoughts?

I thought you could only be a made man if you were 100% Itallian also, so that they could trace your ansestors back to the old country.

But in GF3 Vincent, whose Mother was not married when he was born took over from Micheal, so I thought that would have been frowned upon, but I guess the whole of GF3 is frowned upon by a lot of people!

Here is a link to a past post that should answer your question more clearly :

Don Cardi

You might also ask if Vito was "made".

With what name did you used to post?

Back then if u had your own family basically u can make your own rules, look at Tom Hagen, consigleri, it was stated in the book that Don vito broke the tradition of having all consiglieri being 100% sicilian, but its not like against the rules, the other families frown upon it, now a days the commision might say u cant do it but who knows

My understanding has always been that a man "made his bones" by committing murder, usually in service to his Don.
