^^ Thank you for your books and authors which you recommend. For me, though, I really have not one bit of interest in learning anything about the mafia. I couldn't even care less about who's boss of the Genovese family, what Merlino is up to today, so on and so on.
My interest begins and ends with family and people that I know. That's why I only ever mention the same things and the families over and over. The rest is of no interest to me.
But, I'm sure guys on here will appreciate your recommendations. So, thanks.

If the people you know have changed their name, and I don't doubt you, but they haven't done it legally thru the state. It is not allowed. For all legal documents for the state of Italy, you must have your birth name. The ones you know, are using their husband's name, but it is not on legal documents that way. It can't be. Unless it is a double barrel name, such as Messina-Denaro, for example, where the mother's and father's names have been used to not lose the family names.
