Fate of the Romanovs Research: New Assertions! New Energy! PODCAST froebelgalleries.wordpress.c… @HistriaBooks
Mara: The central tension here is whether the official narrative — that Anastasia Romanov died in 1918 — can survive a sustained challenge from forensic, documentary, and ecclesiastical evidence pointing the other way.
Pip: The post opens with a verdict from the late Robert Schmitt of visualfacerecognition.com, who conducted both 2D and 3D facial analyses. His conclusion is direct: “The comparison of the faces is one of the most accurate I have seen especially considering the difference in ages. There is little doubt it’s the same person.”

Watching a documentary about the #HudsonRiver inspired this author to check on familial connections to the explorer Henry Hudson III. Maternal 8th cousin 14x removed. A deeper study planned. In tree (left) author's maternal side, right Henry Hudson's. @geni The Hedersetts were from Mettingham Castle, Mettingham, Suffolk, England @BBCSuffolk @HudsonValleyMag More family stories at ahnentafelbooks.com

Interesting to note that as a descendant of Hedersett, Hudson would be related to the following who also count the knight from Suffolk as their ancestor: U.S. President [W. HARRISON]'s 15-Great Grandfather. HRH Charles's 19-Great Grandfather. PM Churchill's 19-Great Grandfather. Lady Diana's 19-Great Grandfather. PM Cameron's 21-Great Grandfather. HRH Albert II's 21-Great Grandfather. @RE_DailyMail @MajestyMagazine @CoryneHall
