Anastasia The Mystery of Her Survival and Anna Anderson True or False?

Grand Duchess AnastasiaGrand Duchess Anastasia

People may have heard this already if they are interested in the history of Anastasia of Russia. There was the movie of her life. They did the DNA test and found that the other girl Anna Anderson was not her. Or so they believed. There is still doubt about it and what happened. From reading this and actual information I wonder if she still might have been her. Now I have found an eye witness account from a Russian on the wiki that saw her that I've included.

You should look at all the information to figure it out. The movies have gone over some of it. I supposes it's just a fanciful idea that it's still her. I have a feeling something was there. You can look at the pictures to decide for yourself of both of them.

Doctors thought she was the same person and testified. The Catholic church did not go to a later funeral for bones they had found because they didn't believe it. She had wounds on her body.

I know that Anna told some people things Anastasia knew. They thought it could be a servant at court. When I read there she saw someone who used to draw animals and asked him how the funny animals were it seemed so like something real. When asked about her refusal to speak Russian, she said it was because they killed her family.

If you listen to the name Anastasia and then Anna Anderson together it sounds like the same word. Then they tried to say she had another name. It doesn't make any sense. I know they had a picture of Anna and it looked strange and nervous. But how would you feel if that happened?

Ah look this is from the wiki answers from he heard of an eyewitness seeing her afterwards: "My feeling is Yes, she survived the Revolution and first went to Berlin, then arguably Paris, and in Nineteen Hundred-Twenty-two, like the catchy parody-she left the Old World For the New and surfaced in Manhattan. Incredible as it sounds in one account, from the mother-in-law of a friend of mine, Anastasia re-entered the Soviet Union (accompanied by White agents) in the year l928 and was sighted on the Moscow transit system by the lady cited. ( It was like seeing a ghost but there was pomp and splendor neath her shabby trench coat) she was Anastasia!"

Ultimately, you need to decide for yourself. I just looked at the photo of Anastasia I have on here and it looks just like Anna Anderson in her older picture. The other picture of Anastasia in books is more stately.

I guess it wasn't really her. I looked at the pictures again. The grandmother took a DNA test before after the reward. Then I see this blog too from the mystery-site blog: "British scientists compared their DNA with samples of Anderson’s hair, and found no match. However, Anderson did seem to have extremely similar DNA results to blood samples taken from the grand-nephew of Franziska Schanzkowski. So it appears the mystery of Anna Anderson has been put to rest. Except for one thing. When Russian authorities uncovered the royal bodies in 1991, two corpses were missing. One was the Czar’s son Alexei. The other was his youngest daughter, Anastasia." (They seem to have unearthed more bodies in Russia but of a different sister, I don't know about it.)

* Anna Anderson is the name of the woman who claimed to be her.
* Russia went to great lengths to finish this off.
* Anna Anderson knew other languages Russian, French, English and German unusual as they say for a factory girl. One article said she didn't.
* I was curious about the Grandmother so I found something on the Empress Marie and attached it. She had decided Anna Anderson wasn't her after DNA test. (according to that piece there).

* On deciding myself, it is hard to judge the pictures there's something there like her but she seems nervous. Something around the mouth not like her. Then I saw she was hit in the mouth with a gun and had injuries. She had injuries on her body. The people on Anna Anderson's side said the relatives were greedy. It also involves the English royalty government. Many people thought it was her. The grandmother not recognizing her was a bad sign. Also she'd done her own DNA test and it had said false.

The book picture looks like Anastasia. I am still confused. I am afraid it wasn't her but it might have been. Those on her side said the DNA test was done wrong. Rasputin's daughter thinking it was her and others and her info was a strong point. She also had codes to their bank accts. That must have been frustrating. Where would she get those from? Or was that a legend? The body burial seems to have been a coverup. When I went home recently my father didn't know it was me. Why keep up the facade after she lost?

I know of the stories...

but not too many facts. I heard it was a great confidence trick. But DNA usually proves things one way or another these days. Will do some Googling and see where it gets to? Visit Kiwi Riverman Visit Qassia Today
