		With the murder of Francesco Meli in December 1892, allegedly by Antonio Morello, the Morello's were in control of the Brooklyn dockyards and eventually parts of Upper Manhattan and Bronx waterfront.
		With the death of Antonio Morello in 1898, leadership of the crime family fell to Giuseppe Morello (although Saietta was considered the overall leader of the Manhattan mafiosi).
		By the late 1900s, the Morello's had consolidated their hold on Upper Manhattan however on November 15, 1909 New York police raided a building in Highland, New York the Morello's were using as a front for their counterfeiting operation.

	Nicholas Morello - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nicholas Morello ( 1855 / 1866 - September 7 / November 6, 1916) was one of the first New York organized crime figures founding the Morello crime family and was later one of the participants in the Mafia-Camorra War of 1916.
		Born Nicolo Morello in Corleone, Sicily in 1866, Morello immigrated with his family, including his brothers Antonio Morello and Giuseppe Morello and half brothers Ciro and Vincenzo Terrinova from Sicily arriving in New York in 1892 joining "Lupo the Wolf" Ignazio Saietta 's Black Hand organization.
		The war continued for over six months until Morello was killed by Morano's men on November 6, 1916 with underboss Charles Umbriaco outside Vollero's Cafe, a local Navy St. restaurant, while meeting Morano for a truce.

	Mob Family Values
		The occasion is the publication of Before Bruno, a scrupulously researched history of the local underworld written by Jeanne Bruno’s close friend, South Philadelphia historian Celeste Morello, herself a descendant of old-time local wiseguys.
		Bruno remembers the late boss as a loving father who spoke four languages and rose to the top of the local crime family without being a "made" member of the Mafia because he had never killed anyone.
		Family is what the Sicilian mob is all about, says Morello, who calls her book a "social history of conveyance — of cultural ideals and cultural practices." Her own family legacy includes a great-grandfather who ruled a mob branch in Norristown and died leaving each of his 10 children with his or her own house.

		The family details we all seem to agree on are these: The Morellos and Terranovas were born to established Mafia families in Corleone, Sicily.
		The Mafia did not invent organized crime and, depending on one's definition, the gangs in New York who could trace their existence practically to the birth of the American republic could be considered organized crime.
		Family history, precise roles in the hierarchy, transient alliances and every detail relating to the Murder Stable may be murky, but Morello was without question one of the primary shapers of the American Mafia.

		It appears that Milazzo graduated to Mafia crime family boss in Detroit by 1930 (or, according to some sources, was a chief lieutenant in the East Side Gang led by Angelo Meli, Bill Tocco and Joe Zerilli).
		The gang was supervised by Morello's older brother Nicholas and half-brother Ciro Terranova.
		Morello was clearly in Masseria's camp when Joe the Boss eliminated self-proclaimed boss of bosses Toto D'Aquila in 1928 (possibly 1924).

		However, it is more likely that they were chiefs of a street gang that got regular work from the "king." It was fairly common practice for political and business leaders of the time to employ street toughs for their own protection and for the harassment of rivals.

	Gaetano Gagliano
		As patriarch of what has evolved into the current-day Lucchese Family, Gagliano headed one of the original five New York crime families from September 1931 until his death in February 1951, a reign conducted in an unequaled and almost complete anonymity.
		His future fellow family leaders, Vincent Mangano and Joseph Profaci were two of 23 men arrested after the handy-work of a Cleveland patrolman on foot assignment exposed the gathering.
		"The fifth Family was the Castellammarese clan of Brooklyn and Manhattan."

	Rick Porrello's - AmericanMafia.com - Allan May, Organized Crime Historian and Journalist
		Before Morello even gets into her story she takes a needless shot at respected writers by stating, “The reader will notice that I hesitate to challenge histories written by non-scholars, such as journalists and the like.
		If Morello feels she has produced a work superior to any of these writers she is sadly mistaken.
		In addition to Morello’s pot shots at other authors within these 116 pages, she adds three appendices to make additional disparaging remarks on Francis A. Ianni’s work and at the work of the Pennsylvania Crime Commission.

	Genovese
		Even though Tieri was identified as Genovese family boss in a 1978 New York magazine article by none other than, ahem, Jerry Capeci, AND even though Tieri was convicted of being the Genovese boss, there are those who dispute that he ever was the boss.
		Salerno (left) had been identified in the indictment as the family boss, and along with the leaders of the Colombo and Lucchese family, was sentenced to 100 years.
		The Genovese Family lost a major source of income when the Mafia's "concrete club" was shut down in the mid 1980's with the Commission indictment and conviction.

		Confined to the federal penitentiary in Atlanta, Georgia, Valachi was a cellmate of Genovese, who had become head of the Luciano crime family and, after Luciano's deportation to Italy, according to Valachi, the "boss of bosses" within the Mafia.
		Clearly, Valachi was in no position to comprehend the workings of the national crime syndicate or gauge the vital importance to organized crime of men like Meyer Lansky, Longy Zwillman, Doe Dalitz and others.
		Indeed the family, long the most important in the country, lost influence, and the previously much smaller Anastasia family under the shrewd Carlo Gambino grew in numbers and power and became the foremost outfit.

		Nevertheless, these families are often able to pool their resources and achieve relatively high levels of educational and economic success (Okamura, et al., 1995).
		Cultural isolation and limited family support, coupled with the lack of educational and job opportunities, limited English speaking skills, and poverty are posited to contribute to their increased risk for partner violence (Chen & True, 1994).
