Anna Anderson, aka Anastasia Manahan, was proved through DNA tests not to belong to the Romanov royal family. The tests indicated that she was, in fact, a member of the Schanzkowski family, a claim that had been made by several people early in her attempts to prove herself to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia. A useful account of this subject may be found in Robert K. Massie, "The Romanovs: The Final Chapter" (Random House: New York, 1995). Massie is also the author of the book "Nicholas and Alexandra." http://www.answers.com/topic/anna-anderson Jul 18 06, 7:29 PM
