De Cavalcante's were pretty similar to Detroit a clannish group.

I agree with you. They were a very clannish group. Nearly their entire original membership was born in Ribera, Sicily. And many of their later waves of membership traced their ancestors and lineage back to that same Sicilian town.

The Sicilians are still leading what is left though.

Maybe. After all, there are still a few "Sicilian born" members who are with them. But they also have the American guys (and more of them) who are more prominent IMO. And remember Hollander, that's a leap of faith for both of us. Because truth be told, I believe what we'd consider to constitute the former DeCavalcante borgata, is largely moribund today.

The DeCavalcante's had/have a long and close relationship with their hometown back in Sicily.

Yes they are Sicilians, but "riberesi" first.

No doubt about that. Ribera came first and foremost.
