I, on the other hand, don't think so. My impression of the "old gang", 
as a Safe House->MAGIC DISHWASHER follower is that they were a group of 
spies working for Dumbledore, and as such they weren't as famous as the 
MoM fighters. I'd imagine that most of the families destroyed during 
the Reign of Terror were Auror's families, as a way of forcing those 
people out of the game (just as terrorists all over the world target 
the families of policemen and army officers).

Of course, any time Voldemort discovered one of the old gang thanks to 
his own spies, he'd kill them too, but I don't think it was as common: 
they weren't as public, nor as well known as the Aurors and MoM 
officials, and they were a smaller group too: less than a hundred 
surely, and I don't think they top 40, either (although I'm less sure 
of that number).

Hope that helps,
