Balkan Royal Families / Re: Royal Family of Montenegro--past and present

« Last post by Marc on December 10, 2025, 11:18:30 PM »

I saw an interesting claim about Princess Olga of Montenegro(1859-1896),daughter of Prince Danilo I of Montenegro...

It is said that she was married(and left issue) in La Valletta(1875) to George Mallia Tabone(1855-1943),son of Odoardo Mallia Tabone and Giovanna Fontani dei Conti di Senia...his father Odoardo Mallia Tabone(1821-1894) in turn was a son of Odoardo Mallia Tabone(2nd marriage) with Stefana dei Conti Fournier...and this Odoardo Mallia Tabone was son of first marquis Salvatore Mallia Tabone who got this title from Grand Master of Malta-Emmanuel de Rohan-Polduc...

Anyone heard something about this fact or this family?

I found it in Maltese Genealogy for Mallia Tabone family:

Inok Nikolai here.
Yes, we are still working on this project.
Twice it had to be shelved for a long time, but now we are plugging away at it again.
Since we work on this in our spare time, I can't give a projected publication date.
But I assure you that the project is not dead.
Thank everyone for their continued interest.

Films and TV shows about the Romanovs and Imperial Russia / Re: Anastasia: Once Upon a Time

Comedy value from seeing Rasputin nursing a super sized soda, but otherwise I agree with the other reviews. My biggest objections were portraying Anastasia as knowing little English and not knowing how to eat spaghetti

The Alexander Palace / Re: Pictures of the Interiors as they were

« Last post by EmHarms on June 13, 2025, 03:33:49 PM »

This photo - summer 2012. I have a photo of this place to our great tragedy of the great Patriotic war of the USSR against the Nazis.
On the photo - a corridor on the 2nd floor above the Front halls and the Windows of the corridor look at the colonnade. This hall you can see the layout of the Palace.

I don't see how this could be the Alexei hallway if the windows look out on the colonnade.  It seems to me it is some part of room 40 on the plans, or maybe some rennovated version of rooms 24, 25 or 26.

Hi, all. Sorry to dredge up old threads (assuming anyone will see this), but hoping for the best...

I'm wondering if we could revisit some of the defunct photo links, if anyone still has photos handy. I'm hoping to find any photos of the upstairs rooms, particularly Alexei's corridor. Nagorny's room, specifically, but any of the corridor, Derevenko's room, Gilliard's room, etc., would be helpful. If they exist.

I know this is dredging up a thread from the sands of time, but I'm just curious if OP might be willing to share updated links to these photos?
