1994 British TV Documentary - Anastasia Dead or Alive?

[Kransnoeselo]

Here are some photographs which I compiled of AA and the Schanzkowski family

Below is Left: Gertrude Schanzkowska Franziska's sister who recognized AA (Gleb Botkin himself admited to a resemblence between the two of them) and Right: Anna Anderson



Below Left and Right Anna Anderson. Center: Gertrude Schanzkowska



Below Left and Right: Anna Anderson. Center Maria-Juliana Schanzkowska who the Schanzkowski family said Franziska most resembled.  When Franziska's former teacher and his wife were shown a photograph of Anna Anderson they stated that it didn't look like Franziska but like Maria-Juliana.  Also note that both AA and Maria-Juliana have the same hairstyle- with the exception that they parted their hair on opposite sides.

 Below: (Top) Anastasia's handwriting.  (Center) Franziska's handwriting (Bottom) Anna Anderson's handwriting. Notice how the way Anastasia's
"s" differs from how both Franziska and Anna wrote their "s" and how similar both the "s" and the "k" are between Franziska and Anna.

And enlargement of the series above. Note the remarkable resemblance between their mouths.


Below: From Left to Right: Anna Anderson, Tatiana Nikolaivena Romanova (Anastasia's sister), Maria-Juliana Schanzkowska (Franziska's sister), Anna Anderson. At first glance one can see some similarity between AA and Tatiana, but then when one looks at the photograph of Maira-Juliana one can see the ways AA differs from Tatiana and how much she resembles Maria-Juliana (Franziska's sister).

These are just great. Thank you very much for doing this for us. The more you find out, the more reasons there are to doubt! She really does look like the FS family. I'd love to find a pic of Gertrude young. Oh, and I am so happy to finally have a picture of Maucher! I saw him on NOVA but never a still pic.

... Apparently Scotland Yard did a study of AA's and Anastasia's handwriting within the past ten years or so which concluded that the samples were not writen by the same hand. (It has been suggested that there were not as many samples as was used by Minna Becker during AA's trail.  Yet apparently Scotland Yard thought the samples sufficient enough to make an accurate comparison.)

Firstly, thank you for posting these images.

I have a few questions for you please,

1. How do you know that  Scotland Yard was approached about this matter in the "past ten years or so"?

2. Who brought the matter to their attention and why was this alleged analysis undertaken?

Thanks for any information in advance.

On another discussion forum an author of a biography on Anna Anderson made a statement regarding this study.  I have not read or heard about it elsewhere.

Same person who said the documentary proved AA was AN?

Thank you for your response. Do you recall who the author was?

Thanks again,
