Is Alexei in this? The caption read "Nicholas, Olga, Alexei and Anastasia."

I believe the"  Olga"  in this case means , Olga Alexandrovna, Nicholas's sister ...and the one next to the Tsar does look like Alexei ....most likely because like the Tsar, he has no bathing cap and is in a male swim suit as well ( no sleeves)

I believe they are Tatiana, Olga Alexandrovna, Alexei and Tsar. It was taken in autumn of 1913, at Crimea/Livadia. Though the first person on the far left could be Anastasia?

nena I am thinking Anastasia as well . Simply because of the figure's size...it's the same as Alexei if not a bit smaller. TN was bigger
at this time.  imo

I've read somewhere in this thread that it is Grand Duchess Anastasia but now I'm thinking Grand Duchess Olga.

L to R: Anastasia, Olga Alexandrovna, Aleksei, Nicholas. (The females wear bathing suits with short sleeves; the male suits have straps instead.)

Another from the same day shows Tatiana -- without bathing cap because of her short hair. L to R: Anastasia, Olga A, Tatiana, Nicholas.

Does someone got these bigger/better quality? They were taken in 1908 in Reval by Queen Alexandra. Thanks in advance =)

can anyone post this photo if they know what i'm talking about?
ages ago i found it- on here i think- and its of alix and nicky sitting on (what i think was the standart) although it could have been polar star i suppose, they were both sitting on the slanted side of the deck  boats are not my area of knowledge, i don't know if it has a proper name, but looked like a raised edge at a diagonal slant to me-  alix was closer to the camera than nicky, they were both sitting  on this slant, both dressed in dark clothes- alix in a large hat- i think- it was ages ago- her ankles crossed. thankyou so much to anyone who can help me! its been driving me crazy!  i take my hat off to you if you have a clue what i'm on about!

otmaprivatealbums, I think this picture is a close-up of the first of those tiny pictures.

And could somebody please tell me the year of those photos of Alexandra where she's wearing that dress with the wierd pleated sleeves, and the black fringe on the neckline? One of those photos is the first one in this gallery: http://otma.blog.cz/galerie/nikolaj-a-alexandra/alexandriny-formalni-fotografie#
And also the year of those ones of her with the rose on her neckline, as well as the court dress kokoshnik-veil ones, also on that page.

This portrait hangs in the palace of Grand Duke Vladimir in Sankt Peterburg...Can this be someone from the family of Maria Pavlovna,or maybe lady in waiting?She doesn't look like someone from the Imperial family...



Any thoughts?
