Is anna anderson and anastasia the same person and how?

Question

If no why not

Answer 1

It was diproved by her DNA. She was a fake.

Answer 2

No, this was confirmed to be a fake rumour years ago by extensive DNA testing in 1991. The Duke of Endinburgh, Prince Phillip, who is closely related to the Romanovs and had his DNA matched with Empress Alexandra, submitted his DNA to be compared with the DNA of Anna Anderson, and no match was found.

Answer 3

The first poster is right, Anna was a fake but it wasn't discovered until after her death.

During her older age she had an operation to remove part of her intestine (I believe) this part was kept and DNA done on it after Anna died.  It was then proven that she was not Anastasia.

The missing Romanovs have now been found anyway.  They were Alexei and Maria.  I was given this information personally by a member of the Romanov family who lives close to me when I was esearching the story of Tatiana.

Answer 4

Nope.  There is no proof that Anastasia survived her family.

Answer 5

DNA tests were conducted in 1994 on a tissue sample from Anderson located in a hospital and the blood of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, a grand-nephew of Empress Alexandra. Anderson's mitochondrial DNA was a match with a great-nephew of Franziska Schanzkowka, a missing Polish factory worker.

In 1991, nine out of eleven bodies believed to be those of the Imperial Family and their servants were finally exhumed from a mass grave in the woods outside Yekaterinburg. The two missing children were Alexei Nikolaevich and either Anastasia Nikolaevna or Maria Nikolaevna, since there some debate which sister the body belonged to.

However, on August 23, 2007, a Russian archaeologist announced the discovery of two burned, partial skeletons at a bonfire site near Yekaterinburg that appeared to match the site described in Yurovsky's memoirs. The archaeologists said the bones are from a boy who was roughly between the ages of ten and thirteen years at the time of his death and of a young woman who was roughly between the ages of eighteen and twenty-three years old. Anastasia was seventeen years, one month old at the time of the assassination, while her sister Maria was nineteen years, one month old and her brother Alexei was two weeks shy of his fourteenth birthday. Anastasia's elder sisters Olga and Tatiana were twenty-two and twenty-one years old at the time of the assassination.

Along with the remains of the two bodies, archaeologists found "shards of a container of sulfuric acid, nails, metal strips from a wooden box, and bullets of various caliber." The bones were found using metal detectors and metal rods as probes. Tests are still being conducted on the remains to determine whether they are the remains of the two missing Romanov children.

Answer 6

DNA testing proved shw was not Anastasia

Answer 7

she was polish , a factory worker from new york

Answer 8

They are not the same persons. Anna Anderson was an elderly lady, that proclaimed to be the last Zarists Anastasia Romanov. That claim has been established to be untrue. I have written a paper in my under class European history on this subject. I had DNA results from all the 8 bodies that were found in the grave side of the Romanov. Anastasia was among them. Read some good books about The last Romanovs... It's a great book to read!
