Thanks for your information. However, I have all of those guys but one listed as associates. Caterine was a made man that I didn't have listed. Great to have a celebrity author on here.

Thanks, though celebrity is quite a reach... smile

Dragna and Tortoriello were most likely made. But I wouldn't get hung up on the "made" status in these small families. It just didn't mean as much. In Tampa, for instance, non-made Cuban guys had more power than many made Italians, and held considerable more sway with Trafficante. Dallas was the same. Just look at a guy like R.D. Matthews.

Anyway great to see a thread on such a minor family. Much more interesting than the umpteenth NY mob thread IMO.
