She <Irina> looks very much like them--amazing likeness! But where is the proof--why do all these claimants that are alive don't take the DNA test and let people know that it is not just another bogus claim? The nowday technology permits it...Without it--the claim is nothing.
Any more info on her? What is her adoptive family name? Does she has children?
The only thing there is likeness--I do not know genetics enough to say if the nature can produce people who are so alike but not related--but children often look different from their parents! Look at the Romanov family--does any one there looked like a dead-on copy of Alexandra? I do not think so;
Besides, the story is hard to beleive--how is Romanovs could have another daughter without any sources mentioning that Alexandra is pregnant? No diary records, no mentioning by family and friends--and how they concealed it from soldiers?
My impression was that they hoped for the best and endured the rough treatment but still did not expect the end they met--if they suspected that new regime wanted to kill them, they would at least try to smuggle the children out--to seek some escape--even if kids were ill with measles at the time; I do not think they comprehended the gravity of their situation--so I do not think they would go to extra super unhuman lengh to conceal another pregnancy and childbirth in captivity.
Suppose --as unprobable as it sounds--A. was expecting and they did managed to conceal it
--and the daughter is born and only family --not captors --know about it--how she was smuggled? The German cousin came? How he managed to get close to them and where he came from?
The story frankly does not hold at all; Even if I really wanted it to be--but it really does not;
Any thoughts? I did a search and there is nothing on her;
May be considering the likeness, she is some relative?
What do you guys think? Keep on posting! Thanks,
