JoeP, I especially like the format that encapsulates each subject with a bit of personal biographical info...I enjoy the "Valachi" styled format. It harkens back to the original 1963 FBI charts produced at the U.S. Senate Committee Hearings of that time.
Yeah, those are also pretty cool but very time-consuming to put together. I tried to make a Valachi-style graphic for the
Colorado family c. 1950 at one point. Not sure if I posted it here before
JoePuzzles,
I don't know if you've ever seen the extensive pictorial hierarchy chart I created for the old, "traditional" Chicago Outfit --- focusing on when the Outfit was at its peak --- but since I know you love your charts, if you haven't already done so, please visit our website and take a look. I think you'll really appreciate the design work and historical research involved in it.
If you're interested, I'll see if Lisa can make that particular chart free for your viewing, ok?
I've seen the San Jose chart from your website, I think that page was free at one point. I don't have a subscription, so I don't think I've seen your Chicago stuff before
Yeah, the captains are just straight from the FBI lists so they would not be too accurate when it comes to the actual crews
Thats true. Also, this chart is only about made guys, right?
Btw, I also think that guys like D'Arco and Giovenco were completely out of the game by that time, same as Roti and Marcy.
Yes, just a total membership chart - so that would include the elderly/inactive like the guys you list there
