Detroit Family Chart 1965


*Save image to zoom in*

That chart's hard to read, would've been better if they had labeled it like how most others are labeled with either an actual family tree graph, or the names listed vertically. Good find though, NJ.



I personally think they're more comparable with Philadelphia. Because they aren't making any headlines, doesn't mean they aren't operating (not saying that's what you're implying, I'm just speaking in general). Detroit was always a lowkey Crime Family more interested in staying out of the papers, I don't recall them making any real headlines outside of Detroit itself, except for Hoffa. They were always into a different type of crime than most of the Cosa Nostra Families in the States. I got the impression they were more into white-collar crimes, at the time and even today, than any of the other Families as well. The Feds never had anything on them, in part, because they made little noise. Never had many informants, not much stuff being fed to the reporters,. People from Detroit who were old enough and around at that time would know more than I do though, in regards to that aspect of it. But yeah, I think for what it's worth, their more comparable to Philly.

Thanks Sinatra...I know it is a pain to read. They should have laid it out different like you said.

you don't say...

to me (size-wise) they're more comparable to whatever is left of the decavalcantes

not as small as licata's crew

not as "big" as philly/s. jersey

That's some rough shit about Jackie The Kid's daughter. Seems like his transition to sitting boss hasn't been as easy as those before him.
