F.A.Q.'S

(Frequently asked questions)

In order to avoid replying to the same gazillion emails I receive all the time, I'm putting up this webpage. If you don't find the answer here then you can email your request.

Q: Where is Sonny Capone? is he still alive?

A: Albert Francis Capone passed away on July 8, 2004.

Q: Where's his family?

A: I'm sorry, but I do not divulge anyone's personal info.

Q: Can you give me any Capone relative's phone number?

A: No, Many of these relatives have lives and do not wish to be bothered about this stuff. I must respect their privacy and so should you. Surprisingly most do not have more info than you will find here anyway.

Q: Can you tell me about Sonny's children? Why don't you have info about him or them on your site.

A: I will not divulge any info relating to his children. Albert Francis was a great man who treated everyone with respect, whether you were rich or poor. He immensely loved his dad, mom and family and that's as far as I will ever say on here. He was very private and never spoke about his family to others and neither will I. I have immense respect for his memory and his family. Also, important to note : He isn't relevant to Chicago gangsters, which is what this site is about really.

Q: I think I'm related to Al Capone can you help me out?

A: Sorry, I'm not a genealogist and nor would I have the time.

Q: I have a school project on Capone can you help me out?

A: That's something I used to enjoy doing although time constraints have made me stop. I also got a heads up from a teacher looking down on me helping her students which made me change my mind about helping with future school projects. She wants them to head down to their local libary and crack the books. Guess you now have to work for the fruits of your labor!

Q: Can you give me some of your stuff?

A: No, I can't. If I did, there would be nothing left to show here!

Q: Can you sell me some items from your collection?

A: I don't sell stuff. If I part with an item, it usually ends up on Ebay or I sell it to a friend whose into this stuff.

Q: Can I use photos from your website and link your site?

A: I appreciate when someone asks me first. I've noticed a few who took things and link without asking. I see stuff end up here and there. Some of this stuff I would never associate myself with, even if I were dead. Some post them up on their "gangbanger" face book page.

While the subject of Al Capone and the Chicago's roaring twenties was a fascinating period, it should not be used as a basis to praise criminals today or past. It's simply history that can be enjoyed without being repeated.

Q: I've noticed a mistake on your site. Can you correct it?

A: I put up alot of stuff, but I also receive help from lots of people here (authors, researchers) and you great people out there (Thank-you!). That's why this site is great! We try to bring you the most accurate info out there, culminated from all the books, documents, sources, files, family etc.. There are bound to be mistakes ex: locations etc.. I will gladly take your corrections and personally mull them over and then have my expert assistants check on it, and if it's correct ,you can bet for sure that the mistaken entry will be rectified.

Q: Was there ever a recording of Al's voice?

A: No, there is no known recording of Al's voice. The talking pictures ended in 1930 and equipment to make it was very expensive, so chances are Al just missed the time to be recorded. I also don't think Al would ever have wanted to be recorded saying something he couldn't take back. Near the end of his life, great care was made to watch over him in case his pareisis made him spill any mob info.

There was no danger as his disease had regressed him somewhat.

Q: What did he sound like?

A: According to some family members, he spoke in a soft manner almost singing like.

This attribute is seen often in Italian families.

Q: Did he have an Italian accent?

A: Being born in New York, No, he didn't. The only accent he had and lost was his New York accent. Johnny Torrio took Al and refined his rough edges in order to make him a tad more respectable for business dealings.

Q: Did Al speak Italian?

A: Yes he did! Spoke to his mom in Italian.

Q: How come you don't have a bio on this gangster? He's my favorite.

A: Bios work if I have info and photos to work with. I prefer personal stuff usually supplied by relatives. An another thing is time. This is my hobby and I can only consecrate a certain amount of time to it.

Will be adding more as time permits!
