same question different forum, eh? the same exact reason no new members were made in Milwaukee, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, Dallas, New Orleans, Tampa, Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, KC, Rochester etc. all these mid size to smaller families did not make new members because there weren't as many italians in that geographic area after a certain point. NYC, Chicago and New England were much larger populated areas of italians. there were no more italians migrating to the USA in droves anymore. what dont you get about it foorio? you ask the same question repetitively on every site
