First of all,hello to everyone here!I stumbled on this board by accident but i spent a couple of hours reading it and i got the impresion that its full of knowledgeable(sp?) members...

So,given that,i feel like this is the right place to satisfy my curiosity about the DeCavalcante family.

I'd be very grateful if any of the following questions can be answered:

How many members/associates are there?

Where does it rank among other families?Is it considered small time?

Does it(or did it ever) hold a seat in the Mafia Commission?

Did they ever have any conflicts with other families?

Are "The Sopranos" based on them?

Thanks in advance!
