Perhaps the subject should read For Serious Conversation about the Claimants, Please.
Rodger sent me here to talk about Claimants. This is what I wrote on another board on 19 June 04:
Massie mentioned some of the imposters in The Romanovs, The Final Chapter in Part II.
1. Nadezhda Ivanova Vasilyeva died in 1971 in a asylum in Riga
2. Two women, real names uknown, however, know as Marie and Anastasia who died in the Urals in 1964
3. Filipp G. Semyonov who was said to have hemophilia and claimed to have been Alexis
4. Marga Boodts who lived in Italy and claimed to be Olga
5. Larisa Feodorovna Tudor died 1927 and buried in Kent, England who claimed she was Tatiana.
6. A man who lived in Madrid as Prince Alexis d'Anjou whom some said was Alex Brimeyer.... died in Spain
7. Man, name unknown, claimed to be Alexis and lived in Ulm, Germany
8. Alexi Tammet-Romanov died in 1977 in Vancover, British Columbia
9. Prince Alexis Romanov who died in 1986 and had lived in Scottsdale, Arizonia
10. Another Alexis was said to have been assassinated in Chicago by the KGB...
11 & 12. Two people who claimed to be Alexis and Anastasia met in USA and gained some attention by the press... names unknown

15. others
16. Anna Anderson (Manahan), who always had the most attention, died 1984, and whom many believe was a Polish peasant
Anyone have any other names?

P.S. 23 June 04: I will add to this. Since several of you have studied some of the claimants, perhaps this thread could talk about what we have learned about claimants, excluding Anna Anderson, since she has her own discussion thread.
