Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna, discussion and pictures Part 2

[Sharon Chicago]

Katenka...Thanks much for the family photo.  None are smiling though.... I think the boys look like their father more than
they look like Olga.  Think she must have been a very sweet loving person.

Arkimargo... What are the names of the Russian Restaurants in Toronto?  I have recently retired and live in the midwest. I might
just drive up there. I had been to Toronto years ago on business trip for a week.

I would love to trace the steps of Olga's life in Canada.  I so enjoyed reading her two biography's and she seems like such a
jewel of a lady.

Bravo primrose!! For the sake of others, as well as historical accuracy of course, correcting EL has been an ongoing crusade of mine for years. So glad to see others doing the same. We must all join together & never give up!!!

Paul Kulikovsky recently commemorated a memorial to the place that GD Olga Alexandrovna stayed with her mother's cossack bodyguard.  The house is gone but Paul visited the site of the house and the descendants of the cossack body guard.

[Constantinople]

The cossack body guard to both Tsar Nicholas ll and his mother was Timofei Xenofontovich Jaschik and the village was Novominskaya.

At least one of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna's grandchildren live in Canada but not in Toronto, some of her great grandchildren live in Denmark and one has moved back to Russia.

It is said that the GD Olga was the last Grand Duchess of Imperial Russia, but who was the last Grand Duchess born under Imperial Russia? Was GD Anastasia?

[Constantinople]

i think that some of the children of Grand dukes were born just before the revolution.

i think that some of the children of Grand dukes were born just before the revolution.

But were they Grand Dukes/Duchesses, or Princes/Princesses?

[Constantinople]

I think that some of Tsar Alexander's children had children in this period but i am not sure.  All the others would have only produced Princes.  But i am not sure of the details.

  Lots of Olga stuff for sale keeps appearing on the net these days, its all supposedly from the BYINGTON COLLECTION. I can't seem to find out much about them, is it all kosher ?

[Constantinople]

İ can ask a member of the family. İt may take some time for a reply though.
