Do a search on the history of the mob and you'll likely be linked to a wikipedia entry and several articles about this family. My question isn't so much in regard to their history but as to how many bloodline Morellos were still active when the commission was formed in 1931. Had they all pretty much died out by then? If any were active were they mostly with the Harlem families like the Gagliano/Lucchese or Luciano ? Did any branch out elsewhere? I believe they were active in New Orleans so did any end up with Marcello or any of the southern mobs after commission was formed?
"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea
