I do have a street map of Brussels, so if you can give me the address of the church, I should be able to sort things out.Avenue De Fre/De Frelaan 19
The Brussels metro system is very good, so if it is near a metro station.

That would be brilliant, Ena. Please pm me with the directions from the Eurostar station [City Centre?] I do not know Brussels well at all...I just PM'd you. :-)
I have contacted the NYPL and ask them whats the possibility see the original but because its digitalized I have the hardest time to see it.They didn't digitalized the covers,and the website says there are 3 books??anybody knows the answer to that?How many original albums of the Ball were ?( is it few diffrent books combined in one?)Looks like you can view the reprint in the rare books room. However, the entry mentions that it's "Kept together with original copy (Album du bal costum̌ au Palais d'hiver) in lockcage." Don't know if they're referring to the actual original there, otherwise, there should definitely be an entry for it as well.
Thank you
I think Marty is correct, she was the only one with the resources.I've been to that church, but it was closed the day I went (cry!). There's a tram stop a block away. If you need directions, let me know.
And nena, yes, I do travel a lot. My next goal is to track down the Sokolov remains in the Brusselles church [I know where it is]. Perhaps this spring. I mis-timed last year and missed the opprotunity.
Thanks for the good news !!!Eric, I think you misunderstood my post. Andrew Romanoff hasn't published a memoir. He published an art book that has been out for a few years. It's titled: The Boy Who Would Be Tsar, and it gives the reader a few glimpses of what life was like with his grandmother. It's in English.When is it going to be published ? In English ?
Wow ! He did loved a long life. It is sad that the children did not published memoirsabout their lives in exile.That might have been a great read! I wish Prince Andrew Romanoff would do something along the lines of a memoir describing his life with his grandmother, Xenia. We got a glimpse in his art book, but nothing too revealing.
I recently bought a book called "treasures of Russia - Imperial Gifts". Its a catalog from 2002 in Copenhagen on Faberge etc and the Danish and Russian royal families. It actually has a lot of letters from various members of the Romanov family quoted in it and I thought this one from Marie to her mother Queen Louise written before Xenia and Sandro's wedding might be of interest to people here about how she *really* thought about the wedding and Sandro in particular...Do you happen to have an ISBN on that book? Where did you acquire it and would you consider it a worthy purchase? Any additional information about the book would be great. Thanks.
