      Now, the last survivor of the Russian royal family was on his
train.  A young girl named Anastasia Romanov, and her uncle, Sergei.

I think we've had this conversation before, but I don't remember the outcome.

Wasn't the family name Romanoff, or was that an Anglicazation? And if it's
Romanov, being female, wouldn't she be Romanova?

I've seen Romanoff and Romanova as well as Romanov being used. 
I checked from a history book, it used Romanova, then from a dictionary, it used
Romanov. Then I checked the Webster's Dictionary, and it used Romanov, so I'd
say the offical form is Romanov.

(Yes, I know... this would tip your hand about Nene's ancestors a bit too
early?)

If somebody didn't get this, he or she wasn't really thinking or didn't
know Nene's last name. IMHO.
