Question

Does anyone know a real Descendant of the Romanov family??The youngest that is...??

Answer 1

Just one of many who say there are no living descendants of the family Romanov. This is the final paragraph of an article by John Godl, to be found at http://www.serfes.org/royal/romanovprete...

"The controversy caused by the purely political decision of the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church to reject DNA testing and refuse to acknowledge the authenticity of the Imperial Family's remains or participate in their funeral, has given credibility to those making outlandish claims of descent, for at the core of all their absurd stories are half-baked conspiracy theories attempting to undermine scientific certainties to legitimize claims which have no substantiating evidence. Most pretenders promote and trade on ignorance, a comic-book view of history and convenient conspiracy theories to distract from an absence of tangible evidence, like Anna Anderson whose fanciful claims spawned a million dollar industry her successors cash in on today. The sad fact remains there were no survivors of the bloodbath in the Ipatiev House in 1918, and those claiming direct descent are either innocently misled, suffering from a personality disorder, or trying to profit from the public's legendary gullibility to buy any fanciful story. Perhaps one day charred bone fragments will be found in Ekaterinburg and lay to rest forever this tragic chapter of Russian history, although I seriously doubt the public will ever be satisfied or convinced by the less romantic truth".

And

"The fate of Russia's last Imperial Family is well known throughout the world. But what ever became of the other members of the Imperial House of Russia after the Empire was swallowed up by the Bolshevik Revolution?"

Answer 2

The Romanov family was more than just one line that died at the Ipatiev House. While the line of Nicolaus II died that fateful day, his cousins lived on and are just as legitimately members of the Romanov family as were the kids of Nicolaus and Alexandria. The children and grandchildren of Queen Elizabeth are members of the Romanov family. The royal families of Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, various German states, etc are all members of the Romanov family, even if it was 5-6 generations ago.

I've never met any of them, but the whole Romanov family isn't dead. They're just distant relatives of the one Czar and Czarina who died 90 years ago.
