Many people who actually knew the real Anastasia did not believe that Anna was Anastasia. The tutor for the royal children went to see her and said that if she was Anastasia he was a China man. Anastasia's Aunt Irene (Alexandra's sister) came to see Anna and said that the facial features did not match.
However people compared pictures of Anna Anderson and the real Anastasia from similar angles and lighting and said that their ears were similar. A woman who had authenticated the diaries of Anne Frank said that the two had similar writing.
Yes she did, all the bodies of those killed in the Ipatiev house have been recovered and DNA has revealed Franziska Schanzowska (Anna Anderson) was in no way related to The Romanovs, therefore not Anastasia Many say yes, but I say no. Read about Anna Anderson, I believe she was Anastasia.
Franziska Schanzkowska: 12/16/1896-around 1984 Anastasia Romanov: 1901-1918
Marian Anderson's parents were John and Anna Anderson.
Anna Anderson was someone who was very similar to Anastasia. Some believed she was Anastasia, who had escaped from death and lost her memory, probably out of fear. Some thought it was just a coincidence that she was quite a bit like the princess. But there hasn't been a definite answer yet.
Actually it is possible for Anastasia to still be alive. whomever typed the original answer needs to learn math. the incident happened in 1918. she was 8 years old so she would not be 100 years old till 2010. so know people that have lived longer than 100 years old it is possible that she is alive. and not a century old yet. No, she would be over a century. The best-known claimant, Anna Anderson, passed on in l985, she may well have been For Real. (Added on from another person): Anna Anderson was not actually Anastasia, archaeologists have claimed to have found two bodies buried not too far from the rest of the families. They think it is her little brother and either her, or her second eldest sister.
Anna Anderson was not Anastasia
No one really knows. People who knew Anastasia thought that Anna Anderson was Anastasia because she knew little things about Anastasia's life that someone who was not Anastasia would not know. However in one book it has been theorized that Gleb Blotkin (the son of the Romanov's doctor who was killed with them, childhood playmate of the real Anastasia and chapion of Anna Anderson) fed her information that she needed to fool people.

If you believe Anastasia survived the murder of her family,( and depending on her age. ) Maybe. PS It is rumored that Anna Anderson ( possibly Anastasia ) had a child.
I believe she was an imposter.
The remains of Anastasia Romanov were discovered in a mass grave in Yekaterinburg, Russia, in 1991. She, along with her family, was originally buried in a forest near Yekaterinburg after being executed in 1918. However, their remains were later exhumed and reburied in the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1998.
