Dontommasion: The Family Corleone is set in 1934, and Salvatore Maranzano died in 1931. Luciano and Lansky set up Maranzano after they learned that he had hired Mad Dog Coll to murder Luciano and Vito Genovese. In The Godfather, Puzo has Maranzano still alive in 1933, two years after he'd been killed. Schultz and Capone were still around in '34, though Capone was in prison.
