Most of the five families utilize Ancestry.com to make sure they are making real Italians.
They do not go that far into checking to see if someone is actually Italian in their heritage.
I honestly wouldn't be that surprised if the Genovese family did.
Actually, they're probably the most assimilated and Americanized of the five New York families. The other families---especially the Gambinos and the Bonannos---have made a lot of Sicilian born members over the past decade. And to be perfectly honest, the Genovese family has basically shunned them.
But I get what you're saying. They obviously do a MUCH better job of vetting their associates before proposing them for membership.
