Nicolo Canarelli

Since this isn't the address on his 1920 census, this may be the address of his saloon (liquor store)

So, I was looking on google for Nicolo Canarelli yesterday and i found this book that he is in - "The Origin of Organized Crime in America: The New York City Mafia, 1891 - 1931" I found that he owned saloons on Grand St. and Hester and Mott. He was part of the Italian mafia most likely, like i've heard - and i know he supposedly was gunned down in the late 1920s. Can anyone help me with some more info about this - I can't find any articles about his death or anything else linking him to the mob.
Thanks, Nick


the book is

Would you mind if I ask what relationship you have with the Canarelli and Trolla family? It's just easy to gather info about them if they are residing in your area. But if not there are many ways to find person like knowing where they reside or search them through the web. That's what I'll do.

Hey guys, can anyone help me. This is about my great-great-grandfather's brother Francesco (Frank) Canarelli. All I know is he was supposedly born in 1886 in Agira, Italy. He came from Italy to New York in 1897 with his mother Gaetana Guinta, sister Maria, and brother Antonio Canarelli. I was wondering about his wife and children. He also supposedly was drafted for either WWI or WWII Thank you very much, I really appreciate it.

Hi!
I'm sorry, I added a couple of records while you were posting.
The only way to be sure is to order the marriage record(s)
