 Could Anna Anderson be Anastasia?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
DNA testing in 1994 on the remains of the most famous Romanov survivor claimant, Anna Anderson Manahan, showed that her mtDNA did not match that of the Duke of Edinburgh, meaning that she could not be Anastasia as she claimed until her death in 1984.
Instead, it matched with an alleged grandnephew of Franziska Schanzkowska the woman who Anna Anderson's opponents had long hoped to identify her with, Carl Maucher, supporting the hypothesis that Franziska Schanzkowska and Anna Anderson were one and the same.
The rational human experience of persons who actually knew the individual called Anna Anderson, and of those who know the other evidence of her identity are in direct conflict with the conclusion or interference drawn by this specific individual could possibily have been a Polish peasant of that era.

 Mysteries Article: Anna Anderson, a.k.a. Anna Tchaikovski... a.k.a. Anastasia?
In 1993, Gleb Botkin's daughter and her husband, Marina and Dick Schweitzer, located tissue samples taken from Anna Anderson during an operation in 1979; since Anderson had been cremated, the tissue sample was an important find that allowed for the possibility of testing her DNA relatedness to the Romanov skeletons.
At the same time, Anna Anderson's DNA was further checked against the DNA of Carl Maucher, a great nephew of the missing Polish woman Franzisca Schanzkowska, to double-check the long standing theory that Anderson could be the missing Polish woman.
Unable to directly dispute the DNA evidence that Anderson and Anastasia are not related, supporters instead have attempted to bring the tissue, hair, and blood samples that the genetic researchers attributed to Anderson under question by disproving her identity as Schanzkowska, and thus attempting to add doubt to all the DNA results.
