I stand corrected, what was his story I wonder, could be he's half English but it also could of been the Anglicized version of Fillipelli, also I think Frank Salleme Jr was the "Least Italian" guy ever made at 25 percent

Another one of them guys, Italian on his mothers side. Not sure what ethnicity the father was but his name was Henry V. Phillips. Filipelli changing his name has been mentioned in a couple different articles on the Stanfa crew.

From a 1993 Washington Post Article that was picked up by different papers.

"Crime family members and associates at times oblige the public by encouraging the romance of the largely Italian mob. Vincent Filipelli, a muscle-bound man police say is Stanfa's bodyguard, was born Vincent Phillips, but went to court to Italianize his name, according to a law enforcement official. "

Filipelli is a play on his birth name Phillips. In another article it said he changed it when he was 18.

There's a british guy who's considered a made member of either the camorra or nrandgheta.he's in jail but gets some kind of money on his books and such.ill see if I can find it and post a link

I remember reading something about that. It was definitely the Camorra. I think the guy was Scottish.

Must be Brandon Queen mentioned in "Gomorra" by Roberto Saviano.

theres too many to name...

in new england
cadilliac frank salemme- irish
jimmy martarano- irish
billy angelesco- irish
greg costa- portuguese
pryce quintana-jewish

any one can take a greasy last name, last names have nothing to do with it... you could have a greasy last name and be the biggest paddy out there, its just family and upbringing/life circumstances... ALL THAT TRACEING AND CONFIRMING ITALIAN HERITAGE HAS NOT BEEN USED SINCE THE 1970'S ANY ONE ON HERE CAN QUOTE ME ON THAT... I WAS TOLD BY GUYS ITS MORE OF A CRIMINAL STATURE THING THESEDAYS AND IF ONE OF YOUR PARENTS HAS ITALIAN HERITAGE ITS A PLUS, EVEN MORE SOO IF YOU HAVE AN ITALIAN LAST NAME.... if billy angelesco wasnt estranged from his father billy russell SR. we probally woldnt be talking aobut him this much on threads... his name would of been billy russel jr. if his dad wasnt a deadbeat.

Crazy Joe Gallo was half Irish? I'm no mob historian but that's news to me. Wasn't he straightened out at 17 too?

He wasn´t half Irish. Don´t know where that comes from. He and his brother Larry were made around 1957. So he was around 27 or 28 when made.

HK is right. Larry and Joe Gallo were 100% Italian. Vincent (Filipelli) Philipps of Philly was 100% paisano as well, just either the Ellis Island people changed his last name back in the days or he did.

The Feds were in fact listing Kevin "Hair" Sharkey as a Soldier.

I always thought that Harry Aleman (50% Hispanic) was made but maybe I am wrong.

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that Vito rizzuto made a couple of non italians Raymond desjardins and also Juan Ramon Fernandez , I'm not sure I believe that at all , even though rizzuto wields tremendous power he is still only listed as a bonnano soldier and I doubt he alone could buck century old traditions . Even he answers to someone
