I was around 7 years old, and a show called Mystery Hunters was on. It was about the mystery of Anastasia and Anna Anderson.
A couple months later, my mom, my sister and I were at a used book store. My sister found a book based on the cartoon Anastasia movie.
Then, in the summer of 2007, we bought the 1997 Anastasia movie. On the way back from our cottage that year, we happened to pick up a newspaper with the Romanov family on the front page. It stated that the missing Romanov bodies were discovered.
At the beginning of that school year, I researched on the computer for songs from the 1997 movie, and I found a video dedicated to the real Romanov family.
And finally, in September 2008, I found Holly's Anastasia website, and after that I discovered Ally's website and learned about all four Romanov sisters. While trying to find more Romanov sites, I came across this forum, and after a month of reading some of the forum, I signed up.
