1. Cairo Terranova till 1932 demoted
Mike Coppola 1932-1966 died
2. Anthony Strollo 1931-1962 killed
3. Mike Miranda 1931-1957 Promoted to Consigliere
4. Joseph Doto 1931-1955 deported
5. Anthony Carfano 1928-1957 killed
6. Rocco Pellegrino 1920's-1960s died
7. Guarino Moretti 1920s-1946 promoted to Underboss
Gerardo Catena 1946-1957 promoted to Underboss
8. Thomas Greco 1931-1972/73 stepped down
9. Tommy Licata 1932-1952 died
10. Carmine Battaglia 1938-1957 demoted
11. Joseph Lanza 1932-1968 died
12. Salvatore Chiri 1938-1960s stepped down
13. Frank Iacone 1931-1956 died
Possibly was made a capo as he was direct with the Family Administration members from the 1930s till Anthony Salerno had his stroke. Girolamo Santuccio was definitely a capo when Vito Genovese became boss in 1957.
Powerful members and unknown ranks during Lucianos reign are
Carmine Bova, Salvatore Celambrino, Generoso DelDucca who most likely broke off from Miranda crew as he was close to both Genovese and Miranda during the 1920s and onwards. Vincenzo Generoso, Joseph LaPadura, Frank Livorsi, and Nick Ratenni.
Saverio Pollaccia was the Consigliere till 1932 when he disappeared in route to or in Chicago.

When Luciano was jailed there was a shift of acting boss, underboss, Consigliere and two new capos.
Dominic Didato was killed, when he requested the capos put a vote for a new boss. Didato was only a soldier and his capo only known as Cheech Gusae had used him to feel out the rest of the family. Vito Genovese fled, and Cheech Gusae became acting boss of the family. Domenico DiQuarto took over Gusae crew in 1937 until his death. Willie Moretti became underboss, Thomas Greco becomes acting underboss, and Frank Costello remained as Consigliere. Unknown who became the second new Capo for the family. 1938, is a big year for the family, Cheech Gusae dies or gets killed, Frank Costello becomes acting boss, Joe Doto becomes official Underboss, with Gaetano Ricci running Doto crew and becoming a messenger across the county for the family, Thomas Greco switches to co-consigliere with Alessandro Pandolfo, Salvatore Chiri and Pietro Campisi becomes new capos for the family when Newark family is disband, correction to my above post it was Pietro Campisi who became a capo not Carmine Battaglia, Battaglia would take over Campisi crew in the 1950s. 1939/1940 Greco is no longer a co-consigliere. Luciano remains boss from 1931 to 1946.
Another correction is Girolamo Santuccio, he took over Ralph Mele crew in 1952, Ralph Mele was the first Genovese Connecticut capo and was killed in 1951.

Best guess is Giosue Aiello. Half a dozen Genovese members started in his crew before joining the Genovese and a couple ended up in the Lucchese crime family. From informants close to Phil Albanese and David Petillo, both started out in Aiello crew and he was 30 to 40 years older then them as both said different age gaps, which would mean Aiello was born between 1867 to 1878. Aiello also had a son with the same name born in the 1890s.

Through some research on newspapers.com I found that a Giuseppi Aiello was murdered in May 1929. Theres a article from the standard union newspaper brooklyn dated May 24,1929. The article says he was shot during a holdup at candy store/restaurant located at 133 melrose street in Bushwick. The address is significant because theres a few articles that have this address listed as the home of Charles Gagliodotto and a couple of his brothers. In this specific article they say the owner of the restaurant was "Vintana Guitano".. Chaloots had a older brother named Vincenzo who was murdered the following year in 1930 down on eldridge street. Its too much of a coincidence.
