The Russian Imperial Family, The Romanovs.

The Last Tsar Nicholas II (b. 1868 - d. 1918) and Tsarina Alexandra Feodorovna (b. 1872 - d. 1918) had five children, four daughters; Grand Duchesses Olga Nikolaevna (b. 1895 - d. 1918), Tatiana Nikolaevna (b. 1897 - d. 1918), Maria Nikolaevna (b. 1899 - d. 1918) and Anastasia Nikolaevna (b. 1901 - d. 1918). And one son, the hemophiliac child Tsesarevich Alexei Nikolaevich (b. 1904 - d. 1918).

They were a close-knit family, an informal and a loving group. Never truly separated, not even in death.
