I think Peter and Christina Pegnetter were originally Peter and Christina Pignitter.. and all the other spellings were probably? translation errors.
They had living children: Michael, Mary, Josephine, Helena, Molly and Dorothy, the only one born in the US.
Michael's SocSec application has been found.. he lied about his place of birth.. as he apparently did all of his adult life. He was the oldest child.
According to Christina Pegnetter's death certificate (Dec. 1936" it LOOKs like her father's name was either FLORIAN SIEGEL or FLORIAN SEIGEL.
Peter Pegnetter's death certificate (1915) listed his father as George and his mother as Mary Bashler.
Almost all the Pegnetters you'll find via web searches are in the US and decendents of Michael.
Can't find any Vegnitters, Pegnitters, Peknitters/netters.. but great gobs of Pignitters in Hungary, Austria and Germany, which reinforces my thought that the original name was really Pignitter and they purposely changed it to Pegnetter in the US.
