==Good Killers and family networks== The [[Magaddino family|Magaddino]] and [[Bonventre family|Bonventre]] families were blood and marriage networks from Castellammare del Golfo. Particular members became important mafiosi and supplied interstate relationships, but the families themselves were not criminal organizations that formally merged into Schiro's borgata. The 1921 [[Good Killers Gang|Good Killers]] investigation exposed vendetta and kinship connections involving members or associates from these families. Hunt and Tona interpret the Good Killers as a crew or enforcement arm within a wider Castellammarese formation, while Critchley states that the evidence does not prove such an enforcement-arm relationship.<ref name="Hunt">Thomas Hunt and Michael A. Tona, [https://mafiahistory.us/a014/f_goodkillers.html โThe Good Killers: 1921's Glimpse of the Mafiaโ].</ref><ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=2eCPAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA220 Critchley, ''Origin of Organized Crime'', pp. 218โ223].</ref> Consequently, the family is not described as the product of a four-way merger among a Schiro gang, Good Killers, Magaddinos and Bonventres. The evidence supports an existing Williamsburg borgata drawing personnel from overlapping Castellammarese migration, blood-family and criminal networks.
