And as previously discussed elsewhere, FOH has met LaRocca and Genovese in person among others, he is an expert on much of this and has my respect for sharing his experiences, I just read and research, I have not met any of these guys.



The family was most likely defunct after Genovese's death. also what evidence is there that Salvatore Calderone was boss? Im aware wiki lists him, but I haven't seen a better source reporting that. We do know he was on the consiglio.


There are dozens of sites stating this as fact, I have looked him up on newspapers.com but found nothing, I did find him on Ancestry.com and see his family, death certificate, etc, but nothing about the mafia.
I am going by the dozens of sites that report this, not just Wiki. But anything on the internet can definitley be questioned as to being fact or not.
