This is only the California cities, and does not include those members that moved out to these areas before the 1931 meeting. There are other LCN members who operated in these cities or areas that belonged to other families and never transfered to these families. The lists do not include associates that transfered from other cities and were made into these families.


Tony Milano never transferred to L.A. , although he owned many key unions out there along with his brother Frank because Warner Bros were from Youngstown. He put both his sons, Peter & Carmen Milano in control and spent 6 months a year of his semi retirement in Holmby Hills, CA.
