Family Connections : - Genovese Family



FAMILY  CONNECTIONS  : - GENOVESE  FAMILY

The future Genovese Family originated from Giuseppe Masseria’s alliance with the remnants of the Morello / Terranova faction.  They opposed the dominant Palermitani group under Salvatore D’Aquila.  As “outlaws” and not subject to the same rules as the “official” Families, this group recruited non-Sicilian members.  The Family became a combination of Sicilian, Calabrian, Neapolitan and native born members.  As a consequence it became a more modern Americanized business, less bound to the Mafia tradition.  Familial relationships crossed this racial divide too.
