Here's an interesting article about competing claims over who is really a grandson of Al Capone:

Yes, Peter, I know where the Capone tree is. I was the one who began building the Capone tree on Geni and merged it with another Capone profile, after someone created an "Al Capone" profile and abandoned it. I used to also curate that profile before Justin took over curatorship on it. I'm not interested in your comments to me anymore as I find you rude.
Please do not add me to your personal emails to Chris or Justin in the future like you did today. I find you condescending.
No need to argue, I don't think. This is a fascinating question. I've worked with Chris a bit. It wasn't my intention to embarrass him (if that's what I did with this post). Instead, I hoped that Dick Eastman's article might generate some interesting (and non-partisan) discussion.
Peter is also a long-time friend -- long before Geni -- He's a distinguished former admin for the yDNA project for the unusual group that he and Chris and I all belong to.
Peter, Chris and I share a very deep and personally meaningful connection through our yDNA. I can't even begin to think that any of the three of us would ever intend to hurt or insult the other two!
