searching for Paganin

So, Barth Cunico, fellow genealogist/researcher to the Strazzabosco family, helped me send a few emails to Asiago searching for family records, one of which was family info for Valentino Paganin.  What I got was this:

Good morning from research done in the historical records, we found that parents of PAGANIN VALENTINO n. 05.22.1885 died on 15.01.1913 who married NARDIN ANGELA are PAGANIN DOMENICO and BONOMO GIUSTINA and not PAGANIN Antonio and Strazzabosco Sunday. However, it also a PAGANIN Valentino born 11.20.1883 emigrated to North America in 1912 married to Cristina RODEGHIERO son PAGANIN ANTONIO and Strazzabosco Domenica.

Which, if nothing else, gave me Valentino's Birth and Death dates.  So, the birth date I had before was incorrect, and I had an estimated death date of 1912, which was pretty close, as he really died in Jan 1913.  But it also tells me that the parents I had thought were his were for the OTHER Valentino, the one I traced to America.  Of course, how easy it is to be confused, when the OV (other Valentino's) mother was a Strazzabsoco.  So, MY Valentino's parents are Domenico Paganin and Giustina Bonomo.  And now the work begins.

Doing a general search for Giustina Bonomo turns up a Immigration record for an arrival date of 10 Jun 1897, aged 27 yrs, aboard Kaiser Wilhelm II, her birth year would be about 1870, for the purpose of staying in the USA.  IF (big If) this is my Giustina, Valentino would have been  12, so she either left him in Italy (doubtful) moved back home, or is the wrong person.  It would also make her 15 at Valentino's birth, not probable, but possible.

Woot! Found Valentino on the Asiago Lever.

I cannot find a Lever listing for Eugenio.....

Unfortunately, thats where todays research has come to an end.  But it's a good haul for today! From not knowing anything to knowing they had at least 4 children is a big deal.  I was told that Angelina immigrated to the US because after Valentino passed, she got no support from the family.  At first I thought maybe he was an only child, so it was just his parents to refused to help her...but it seems now that it could have been a larger family. Hmmm.....
