Most definitely, thanks for reminding me.

With all the big names we know it's not that hard to guess most of these 20 made members who formed the Montreal crew.

I strongly suspect--although I have no hard evidence--that Nicola Di Iorio was a made Bonanno in the Montreal crew, as he appeared to be at the same "lieutenant" level as Paolo Violi, Louis Greco, and Frank Cotroni in the 1970s.

Di Iorio died in 1997.

I believe he most definitely was.

Here are two lists of people I believe were probable made members during the Cotroni and Rizzuto days.

60-70s:

Vincenzo Cotroni
Giuseppe Cotroni
Francesco Cotroni
Luigi Greco
Nicolo Di Iorio
Paolo Violi
Nicolò Rizzuto
Francesco Dasti
Giuseppe Cocolicchio
Vincenzo Soccio
Diodato Mastracchio
Antonio Massarelli
Roméo Bucci

90s:

Nicolò Rizzuto
Paolo Renda
Emanuele Ragusa
Agostino [BadWord]
Francesco Cotroni
Giuseppe Di Maulo
Vincenzo Di Maulo
Moreno Gallo
Antonio Volpato
Antonio Vanelli
Domenico Arcuri
Giuseppe Armeni
Valentino Morielli
Sabatino Nicolucci
Domenico Manno
Giacinto Arcuri
Carlo Arena

Others who have been named as made members by Daniel Renaud are Antonio Pietrantonio, Andrea Scoppa and Lorenzo Giordano.

I have an old paper clipping of the "Montreal Matin" dated 1973 showing a chart. At the top of the chart was Vic Cotroni and his four lieutenants were Paolo Violi,Frank Cotroni, Louis Greco and Nicola Di Iorio.

The chart you are referring to was filed with the Quebec Police Commission in 1973 at its inquiry into organized crime. This chart appears as Figure 1 in the 1977 Quebec Police Commission publication The fight against organized crime in Québec: report of the Commission of Inquiry on Organized Crime and Recommendations.

Below is a link to an Evernote item that contains a scan of a photocopy I made of the chart that appeared in the 1977 publication; hence the poor quality.

That's the one. The newspaper added some pictures to it.

You had some Bonanno members in Canada, but most of them over there were made into the Sicilian mafia or 'Ndrangheta.

Yes and some were made by the Buffalo Magaddino crime family.
