Dear People:
I'm glad you started this thread. But before answering QueenEna 's request, I'll ask you a little effort:
1- Please, don't insult others for they have not your same opinion.
2-Don't call people names for they believe they must have been some survivor.
3-Please, don't said absolute and terminantly "trues" as "There were not survivors and that's all. Stop with all these speculations." or "There is no evidence to anything and you are all of you Tedders and dreamers".
4- If you don't bear that some people could think there were survivors, then this thread is not for you. Leave it. If you really believe that there were not survivors and wants to discuss with us, believers, post your own ideas clearly, concissely and without snide remarks. (of course, I said the same for people who believes in survivors theories)
5- Please, don't make personal attacks, nor said insulting things to poster countries or families. Where are here to share information not to kill each other.
This said, I can name the pretenders that QueenEna wants to know:
1- Maria: there were some pretenders who said there were Maria Nicholaievna or that their families claimed they were. The most known now is Granny Alina, but you also have Maria Goleniewsky (who was one of Goleniwesky's sister and lived in Warsaw. Well...in fact, there is no evidence about her being REALLY Michael Goleniewsky's sister. He said that she was...), Maria Martí and someone called Maria d'Anjou, the mother of a pretender from Spain, a guy who was called Alexei, after his "uncle". Marc Ferro wrote about a Maria who went to testimony in a trial, but I read this book long time ago in a library and I don't have it at hand, so I can't remember her name. Ferro believed in Perm theories.
2-Tatiana: There also was a little bunch of Tatianas too: Alexandra Michaelis, Larissa Feodorovna Tudor and Tatia Romani.
However, I suppose that there are much more than that. I don't know all the pretenders.
