Another question is whether Anthony DeGregorio's father in law was Castellamarese and if not how is it that he was so close to these Castellamarese factions,mybe moreso than whatever faction he once lived near in Sicily. Same question applies to Falcone of Utica who also seemed connected to Castellamarese even though he was from I believe Argrigento Province or maybe Palermo?
Sam Scro was Sicilian, but not from Castellammare del Golfo, per se. He was born in the little town of Marineo, on the northern outskirts of the City of Palermo proper. So, for all intents and purposes, many would refer to him as being "Palermitano" -- but technically he was a "Marinese."
So maybe his relationships with Castellamarese occurred after arriving in NYC rather than back in Sicily?
That could very well be, Havana.
Although, it's also not out of the question that Scro may have had several connections to Castellammarese members as a young man back in Sicily too. After all, I believe the two locations are only 50-60 miles away from one another.
Or vice versa, Bonanno, Magaddino, Barbara, etc., could have had ties to Marineo.
But either way, each of those men were known for surrounding themselves with guys from their hometown of Castellammare -- first and foremost -- but they also embraced other Sicilians from neighboring towns in Trapani Province and of course the nearby capitol city of Palermo.
Then, after that -- to a lesser degree -- men of Calabrian and Napolitani backgrounds were also accepted into their ranks.
