Maria V is not part of the Romanov Family Association. There is a rift between the House of Romanov, which includes Maria V and her son and the Romanov Family Association, which includes virtually all the remaining Romanovs. The House of Romanov and the Romanov Family Association have...

I went to see the exhibition today - Magnificence of the Tsars - V and A Museum. Very enjoyable

Interfax http://interfax-religion.com/?act=news&div=5581 "On January 15, 2009, the Investigative Committee's Main Investigations Department shut down an investigation under a criminal case dealing with the circumstances of the death and burial of Russian Emperor Nicholas II, members of his...

Alexei did not have haemophilia

HH Michael Andreivich Romanov, who was the grandson of Zenia, passed away yesterday aged 88. He lived his later years in Australia.

Congenital means something that has been inherited. As my father has been to the doctor and diagnosed with a bunion and I also subsequently have been diagnosed with the same thing on my right foot, I think it is safe to assume I inherited this condition from my father. It is very annoying...

[/SIZE][/FONT] I have hallux valgus, my father has hallux valgus, but it does'nt make me Anastasia!

Do you have a source for this because I do not believe it.

Why do you keep talking about Prince Michaels mtDNA? I presume you mean Prince Michael of Kent. Prince Michaels mtDNA has nothing to do with the mtDNA of the Imperial Family. His mtDNA was not compared against the Tsars mtDNA, because his is a completely different family line. I have stated...

Obviously Maries guardian angel was listening and made sure that happened for her!

It is possible to test for a haemophilia gene and the Russians are trying to do that. If I quote from reply 34 on this thread which is a translation from a Russian newspaper Izvestia: 'This time we shall try to investigate DNA for genetically determined disease.'

I've just looked it up. Nicholas IIs mtDNA was compared to his brother George and Tihon (son of Olga, sister of Nicholas) and James Carnegie, 3rd Duke of Fife.

Thankyou for this information. I can't see how testing his mtDNA would be of any help. To compare Alixs mtDNA it would have to be Prince Philips. And to compare Nicholas IIs mtdna it would have to be female descendents of his sisters. But I can't remember if Xenia and Olga had daughters, I'll...

Maybe it was not mtDNA he was being tested for, maybe it was nuclear DNA. Maybe the scientists are trying to make a profile of Romanov family nuclear DNA.

I did not know that Prince Michaels DNA was used to establish the Imperial familys remains. Is his mothers female line the same female line as Alix? Both descended on the female side from Queen Victoria? As is Prince Philip. I do not think the scientists were able to test the nuclear DNA...

Yes, I find it very difficult.

I can see you have the source now regarding info on ROC. I do not speak Russian, I've been learning it for nearly 2 years, but I have to admit I'm fairly bad still.

Yes I can give you a source, but I do not have the website address with me to look it up and I cannot remember it. I will give you the source in about 2 days, it was a Russian website in English.

The ROC have said they will reconsider whether to recognise the first set of remains, if the second set of remains do test positive for Alexis and Maria.

Have you had any experience with them?

Why are you so sure there is not closer family alive today. The debate is a long way from closed. Just put yourself in the position of any close family members that are alive today, I'm thinking maybe grandsons and granddaughters, how do you think they feel about the bones?

If this happened in Russia (if Russia had a Queen) the KGB would wait for him to swing the axe, (knowing in advance he had intended to) and then shoot him dead there and then through the head. The axe missing the target by mere inches. You can say one thing about Russians, they like to have...

Yes Russophile I agree with you. I suspect in Russia "The truth won't out" It seems to me that the way Russia deals with things is, Why keep them simple when we can make them complicated, preferably very very complicated. And yes Putin is ex-KGB, he is the ex-head of KGB.

Everyone knows opinion polls are not worth anything, I do not even know why you bother reading them. I have never met one person who had anything bad to say about Sophie. The press articles I read about her are always positive! She always looks nice and most people in Britain are proud of...

The DNA results of the recent find of Imperial remains will soon be completed. As stated in the most recent Russian newspapers articles "This time we shall try to examine DNA for genetically predetermined diseases : blood clotting disorder or coagulation failure" If these are Imperial remains...
