Because AA looked more like Tatiana than Anastasia. Yes, exactly. Though I have 'wondered out loud' about when and how the scheme began, I really don't think Clara premeditated AA's claim. I think she was a mentally unstable woman (just like AA) and she thought AA looked like Tatiana. Maybe in...

Come on, Bear,there is NO comparison between a comment by ONE person decades ago, with no backup other than her own words and writings (which gave the date of 1922 then changed it) and a hospital with computer files and many records and witnesses to back up their evidence. All we need for proof...

How can you assert this with absolutely NO proof other than your own desire? She said 1922, and changed it. We cannot prove the reasons for this, I say most likely she backdated it to help AA. There is no proof the incident ever even took place, or if it did, when. You cannot state 'it was 1921'...

Bear, remember, this DID NOT HAPPEN. It is totally out of place with the rest of the timeline, makes no sense, and is clearly wrong- either because the nurse lied or got her dates wrong. As Tsarskoe said, the fact that she told the newspaper 1922, then went back and changed it says a lot...

I do wonder how long AA and Clara were into the royals before the famous claim. Was it a spur of the moment thing or had it been planned? Did they sit around trying to decide which GD she should be, or did it all happen at once? I wonder whatever happened to Clara, and if she ever left any...

Do a search to find out if it's in there. Put the word in the box at the top right corner marked 'search book' and click the button. The story of the maid running around is well known, and it's actually silly to pretend to have been a victim and to have observed such a thing, being shot and...

st It's very obvious AA was FS, all the evidence points to it, the DNA backed it up, and it's been known since 1927. Some people just do not want to believe she was FS so much that they deny it, because it must not be exciting enough for them. Some would rather believe she was AN, others who...

True, and anyone who doesn't believe AA was FS should take a look at the pictures too. AA was a dead ringer for FS (because she was FS) http://www.freewebs.com/anastasiafranziska/anisfran2.jpg Anna Anderson: Exposed! | The Fact, Fiction and Fantasy surrounding the myth of "Anastasia"

Don't you know? The AA supporters always use it to try to say she had 'inside info' 'only AN would know.' I thought for sure you'd have a Kurth page quote ready. But of course, she said it after the book came out 1920, since she wasn't pretending to be AN in that year. Which is what I said in my...

He put it in his suicide note, but he didn't coin the phrase. Let's get the sources straight and give credit where it's due.;) He was only copying originator Neil Young, who sang it in 1979 in the song "My My Hey Hey" My my, hey hey Rock and roll is here to stay It's better to burn out Than to...

I thought this seemed like more Deja Vu! From page 87 of this thread: It had been mentioned by Gilliard and also possibly Gibbes in their depositions.

:bang:Bear I honestly thought my quotes had been posted so many times their 'source' was as obvious too. The Bux quote was her official statement of her meeting, a translation of "La Fausse Anastasie" by our own Tsarskoe. The Felix Y. story is widely published in several books, I can say with...

Bumping one of my language quote posts for those who missed it. These deal with eyewitnesses to AA's inability to speak or understand English or Russian, and her preference for German throughout her life:

Good points, Stepan. Yes it is ridiculous how she only used German, even to her French and English tutors, and native Russian speakers like Felix and Olga. Obviously, German was the only language she felt comfortable with, another glaring finger pointing to her being FS. We have. Many MANY...

There were checks and balances and paper trails and computers involved in the record keeping at the modern hospital, that's a whole lot more than second and third hand word of mouth from the 20's. Also, I believe I've read that some of those involved in the Charlottesville end were hoping for AA...

By who? You and a couple others on this site? It's not a credible theory to the scientists. They've never heard it, unless they read this board, but I'm sure they, and the historians and forensics people involved would all disregard it as completely false and impossible as well as pointless.

All the Kurth quotes and decades old commentary from this and that person prove nothing. People on the other side said the opposite. You can speculate all you want on how educated they were, what they knew, and who was truthful or not. Some who went to see AA found the staff suspect, being a...

No, Bear, YOU are missing the point- the entire case you build is 'according to'- this is what I mean by 'he said she said', because NONE of it can be proven. In fact, 'according to' others such as Olga, Felix Y. and Bux, she could NOT speak the languages. You do NOT know that the nurses knew...

As I have stated many, many times before, in every court case, there is 'testimony' from people who 'swear' (though in Germany swearing isn't necessary) what they say is the truth. Yet in EVERY court case, one side turns out to be wrong. Therefore, we may logically conclude that the people...

I was not implying the scientists were "buffoons" and I certainly do not think that. The point I'm trying to make is that the reason they haven't made four different profiles is because to them it isn't necessary or important. The only ones who keep pushing for the four profiles are those who...

They could make them, but as I stated, it never enters anyone's mind to do so since the topic is only being brought up and discussed here by only a handful of us. Perhaps you should write the scientists a letter telling them your doubts and asking for the profiles. You may get an answer as to...

Bear, there is no proof at all AA could speak and understand Russian other than he said-she saids here and there from her supporters. She was never able to prove she could speak or write it, and even in the 60's and 70's was using the 'trauma from Ekaterinburg' as an excuse. When people first...

That is different, a lot of people forget the language they learned as a young child if they don't grow up using it. I don't believe anyone who was grown before they started using another one would ever totally forget their language though. I'm talking about forgetting as in being blocked out by...

Back to the boring, rehashed language subject, working with the elderly, I recently found out something interesting. There is an old lady in the rest home I'm working at who was from Germany, so naturally German was her first language and she learned English as an adult. After a stroke, she...

I just want to make it clear, I hope no one thought I was attacking any new members because I certainly was not. I only used their posts as an example of how most people and innocent bystanders are fed up with our arguing here. I welcome new posters and it's always good to see different people-...
