Grand Duchess Elizabeth's death and burial

[nena]

It seems, Mr. Robert that you have traveled a lot around the world. I am bit jealous. Ah, nothing personal, I am just kidding.  ;-).

I want to ask, that Ella's remains wouldn't have been removed without efficiency of her sister....Irene? Or was it Victoria, who somehow helped to remove her remains, I am so sorry for repeating the same question.

Victoria mainly.

I think Marty is correct, she was the only one with  the resources.
 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.

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.

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.
 As for Ella, there was some contention over  the "finger" shaved off  the relic but I never heard the outcome...

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.

The Brussels metro system is very good, so if it is near a metro station.

Avenue De Fre/De Frelaan 19

It's on the #4 Metro/Tram line.  Tram stop Heros/Helden.

[Ena]

Please note I listed the address and tram stop both in their French/Dutch names.

I can't vouch for the accuracy - but a whole site dedicated to the burial of the Romanov's with Ella.

Enjoy
