Does Jo Jo Pecora an Under Boss in the LaRocca/Genovese - Pittsburgh LCN count?

A - 1 : Joseph "JoJo" Vitacco (Colombo Family)
B - 5 : Joseph "JoJo" Corozzo (Gambino Family) Those are both correct. Vitacco for Colombo, Corozzo for Gambino. *****NOTE: But I just realized I made an error. I omited another Gambino. This original question was supposed to have 2 guys for each of three crews; 2 Colombo, 2 Genovese and 2 Gambino....Not 5 guys. So please take note of that. I corrected the quiz accordingly, ok.

Can think of two Colombos of the same name who also had the same "Jojo" nickname
Joseph Russo - Andrew Russo's son who died in 2007
Joseph Russo - proposed Colombo associate IDed by Pennisi, he popped up again during Mike Mancuso's VOSR issues in some photos

Colombo soldier/capo Joseph (Jojo) Russo was the 2nd Colombo guy listed. So between you and Malavita, you've banged out 3 of the 6 names. - We have 2 Genovese, and 1 Gambino, left to decipher.

By this time you guys know what Malavita meant by, “You know the drill.”
So, here’s the challenge.…The five hoodlums listed below each had “Jojo” as a nickname. Two were with the Colombo crew. Two with the Genovese crew. Two guys were with the Gambino crew..
Your job is to identify each man by listing his REAL “first and last name” and matching the (letter) of his nickname with the corresponding (number) of the Family he was affiliated with. For instance, you could say C-2, and his real name was Frank Russo.
Have at it fellas. Let’s see how many you can nail down.
A) Jojo
B) Jojo
C) Jojo
D) Jojo
E) Jojo
F) Jojo
1) Colombo
2) Colombo
3) Genovese
4) Genovese
5) Gambino
6) Gambino
-- Malavita and JoePuzzles nailed 3, and I named 1. Here are the last 2 mystery hoods in question: Joseph (Jojo) Manfredi was a top Gambino soldier based in East Harlem. He was also one of the city's bigger heroin merchants during the 1950s-early 1970s era. Joseph (Jojo) Tedesche, aka; "Jojo Crumb," was a Genovese soldier based out of the Mulberry Street section of New York's Little Italy.
