- Worth noticing
- The homepage names five records and marks unfinished city, family, and figure sections as stubs.
Field notes
The five listed entries include an FBI Vault file released in 36 parts, a 1951 Senate contempt proceeding involving Frank Costello, an Alcatraz inmate-register entry, a Second Circuit opinion, and a Capone mug shot. The homepage explicitly marks family charts, city pages, and several subject sections as placeholders; it says the Capone section has two records so far. Its stated organizing principle is to keep the record and its source together rather than fill gaps from memory.
