FAMILY  CONNECTIONS  : -  Lucchese Family.

The Lucchese Family were directly descended from the earlier Corleonese group.  Although the Terranova / Morello faction were absorbed into the Masseria Family, the majority of Corleone born members  regrouped and formed the core of the future Family.  Within the Family familial relationships were not as intense as the Palermitani or Castellammarese dominated ones.
