Notes

- Appears to have initially been put together following the Bonanno indictments and subsequent defections of the early 2000s.

- Confirmed members not present include Vito Badamo Sr., Ally Indelicato and Anthony Santoro. (Edit: The Ally Indelicato inducted Fall 2003 may be identical with the already listed Alphonse DiPilato. Like 'Ally', DiPilato is apparently a nephew of the elder Indelicatos (Alfonse / JB). Credit to Eld for posting the info on DiPilato's family ties. If correct this would explain Ally's absence from the list.)

- Those who were deceased as of the most recent update include Salvatore Caccamise (2011), William Capparelli (2012) and the Canadian members.

- This document provides further corroboration re the membership of certain individuals for whom there had previously been only one source available. These include Salvatore Morale, Michael Primiano and Joseph 'Augie' Yannucci.

- John Carlucci (No. 110) is identical to 'Johnny Phones' proposed for membership in the early 2000s.

- Michael Donofrio (No. 60) aka 'Mike the Electrician' is likely the 'Mike Donafeui - S.I.' present on a Bonanno induction list from 1999.

- Mark Meleo (No. 122) believed identical to 'Mark from New Jersey' inducted with CW Cicale in August 2003.

- Anthony Palmiotto (No. 90) aka 'JJ' or 'Jersey Joe' was previously named as a member of CW Richard Cantarella's crew following the latter's promotion to Capodecina in 1999. It was originally assumed this individual, known to Cantarella only by nicknames, was a reference to Joseph Taormina or another already known member.

- There are no Associates listed. Those present who were already known about have all been reliably identified as made members. The one exception would be Anthony 'Commerciante' Aiello and it's possible this is a mistaken reference to his son, Anthony aka 'Ace', a confirmed member otherwise missing. It is highly likely each of the dozen or so unknowns present on this list are made members as well. Some of the last names suggest blood relations to other LCN members in the Bonannos or elsewhere.
