Sorry to everyone BTW, I started this topic and abandoned it :/ but I'm back posting now ( seemed I went into a history mood- Anne frank, so I kind of ignored the Romanovs).

Some books say that Alexandra's hair on the 17th July 1918 was disheveled and gray. Do they mean grey as in a full head of gray hair or greying hair- a few bits here and there?

thanks,
tom

Was she not 46? 1872-1918

Greying, most likely. One of Alexandra's letters to Anna Vyrubova from Tobolsk mentions that she was noticing some gray in her hair.

There is another version of it, same day. If i recall correct, Tatiana is there too.

Wonder what year? 1912? 

I think you are correct, Ally, better ca. 1910.

Judging by the photo of Tatiana from the same day - definitely before 1912: My best guess is 1909...

Isn't French president also presented in last one? I adore that one, Ally.

IF visited France in 1900/1, I think, and again in 1914 President visited Russia/Maybe even earlier, during 1913.

That's correct nena. President Raymond Poincare.
