Another chart- The Rochester Family

Another chart from the Real Deal Forum. This chart was made in 2009.

The Rochester Family was originally a crew within the Buffalo Family until 1964. These Goodfellas could have been a huge and powerful family, but fighting and killing one another over something as stupid as money is what brought this borgata down.

Look at the list, huge number of murdered incidents. Thanks for sharing

No kidding!

How extensively does Georgia Durante's book get into the Rochester Family? I want to learn more about it and I seem to have hit a brick wall.

Is this the "acting boss" Angelo Amico
Seems to originate from ROchester NY.
So it seems very likely.

Georgia's book goes pretty deep into it. If you buy the actually book (not e-book) she has lots of photos and the guys.

She was a getaway driver for them and it chronicles all the way up to the Massaro hit and beyond.

I would also reccommend Frank Aloi's "The Hammer Conspiracies" as it is essentially a textbook on the Rochester Family.
