Bertini, Vigilio Austria to Ohio
I am interested in any relations, ancestors, or decendents of these Bertini'sVigilio Bertini was born in the Tyrol Province of Austria on the 20th of June, 1860.He left his native country and arrived in the U.S. sometime between 1881 and 1883, whereupon he traveled to and settled in Belmont county, Ohio.There he met and married Rosalia Mershing on August 15, 1886.She was born in Switzerland on April 11, 1867 (or 1865) the daughter of Joseph Mershing and Mary Yaggi both natives of Switzerland who came to Belmont county around 1880.Vigilio then went by the name of Peter Virgil Bertini.Although his tombstone says Bertine and many of his children went by the last name of Bertine, all of their birth certificates have it spelled as Bertini.Peter Virgil and Rosalia Bertini had a home in Barton, Belmont county, OH and had the following children:Mary Rachel Bertini born March 1890 in WVa, married ____ Crate and moved to Vandergrift, Pa;Roxie was listed in 1900 census as being born Aug 1898 but I'm not sure this is true;Virgil G. Bertine born Aug 6, 1898 (SSN death index also not sure of date) remained in Freeport OH and married Martha I. ____, he died December 6, 1974;Eleanor Bertine married Charles Bench (shortened from Benovich?) and moved to Alliance, Stark county, OH;Alphonse moved to California;Rudolph Mark Bertine was born October 14, 1900 in Barton and was my grandfather;Magdalena Bertine was born in 1905 and died shortly later in 1906.Peter Virgil Bertini was a coal miner by occupation and sometime between 1910 and 1920 he moved his family to a farm near Freeport, Ohio.On January 30th, 1947 Peter Virgil Bertini passed away at the age of 86.Four years later Rosalia died on February 22, 1951 and was buried beside her husband in Linnwood Cemetery, Barton, Ohio.It is rumuored that one of Peter V. Bertini's ancestors fought in the Napoleon Wars.Very little is known about the other siblings of Rudolph M. Bertine at this time.
