Thats fair enough; can you reference the "more accurate source"?

If you mean the Wikipedia page that states as much, there is no citation for it and Wikipedia, while great for certain things, its OC and LCN pages have been shown to contain a number of inaccurate, incorrect and disputed "facts".

Some examples would be the page on Steve Crea claiming his family came from Piedmont, while various sources and certain posters insist he is Calabrian. Or that on Daniel Leo, claiming his family came from the region of La Marche, while others have claimed Napolitan descent. Though in those cases the argument may just be disputing the notion that some US mobsters came from northern stock, and/or that of various other Italian states.

Is it relevant to his criminal career, beyond being "Italian"? Not really. Is it esoterically interesting to us crime-buffs? No doubt.

The thing is; it doesn't take "numbers". People/families move and migrate for any number of reasons. You cannot definitively say that no Abereshe families ever settled in Naples, simply because they settled in "numbers" somewhere else.

Im more interested in the fact the Gigante name may or may not have Albanian roots more so then his actual genetic makeup. He's obviously Italian. Cultural identity comes from self expression as well as ancestry IMO. If you identify as Italian, you're Italian. If you identify as Australian, you're Australian.

But now Im getting off topic...
