    1. [PABLAIR] The Mystery of my great-grandmother Anna Marie Pagenta
    2. Christy Varner
    3. Hello everyone, I got a mystery on my hands regarding my great-grandmother Anna Marie Pagenta (October 22, 1888-February 8, 1945; in Hollidaysburg, PA) who married Italian Immigrant Joseph "Joe" Pagenta/Pagent. It's regard whether her maiden was Knee or Tremmel. Who are her parents? According to the death certificate (both parents are listed as Blair County born), her father is listed as John Tremmel, but in the space here the mother name should be it state "Don't Know". But according to her obituary in Altoona Mirror, her parents were John and Frances Tremmel. I been told that her maiden was Knee and can see it in the 1910 census that she is listed as Anna M. Knee. Knee is listed also in obituaries of both her daughters Regina M. Cassidy (1908-1993) and Mary E. Varner (1914-2004; my grandmother) and is also stated in her son Matthew J. Pagent (1913-1962) in the California Death 1940-1997 Indexes. Her children were: Regina M., Melvin F., Matthew Joseph, Mary Elizabeth and Vincent DuPaul Pagenta (later used Pagent; the brothers used Pagent). Regina was married to a Chester Vaughn then to David Cassidy (1900-1973), Melvin was married to Marie Dunn, Matthew, I don't know if he was married, Mary Elizabeth married William T. Varner, and Vincent married Virginia M. Callan. Also that my great grandmother Anna was a member of St. Michael's Catholic church and she buried in St. Mary Cemetery (New) in Hollidaysburg without stone or marker. So don't who see about where plot is? I even went to Blair County Genealogical Society this past Wednesday (2-3-2010) couldn't find much without more data and couldn't stay long due to weather. So if anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. Regards, Christy A. Varner Mount Union, Huntingdon County
