Notes:

- Council member Charles Carbone is later identified as Underboss.

- Anastasi, a local attorney, was introduced by Capodecina Manny Figlia as 'amico nostro' to one of the FBI's member sources in November 1968. He was again described as a member in a subsequent conversation between Figlia and the CI during the same event.

- In 1973 Mario Balistreri was described by CI Anthony Lima as being 'at one time a recruit of the San Jose Family'.

- Frank Giammona (53y), brother to Angelo, was named as a proposed member by March 1962. In April 1976 an informant, noting Frank's presence at Alex Camarata's funeral, reported: "[Frank was] a known Family recruit, who apparently has 'never been made'."

- Prospect 'Bo' Mule (39y), son to old-time Bonanno member Vito Mule, was personally introduced to a member source as 'a new friend' in June 1963. He is believed to have transferred from the Bonanno Family earlier that year.

- In 1971 CI Anthony Lima reported re Vizzini: "His father Yabulo (ph) Vizzini was the Boss of the Camorista in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in the late 20s or early 30s..[Sam is] sickly and he would not be involved in any illegal activity or have any present association with LCN activity or members." Sam's father was Giacomo/James (1868-1934). Sam left Johnstown around the time of his father's death and took up residence in San Jose, where he worked as a barber.
