Where can I get good information of the Romanov family?

Answer 1

The House of Romanov (Рома́нов, was the second and last imperial dynasty of Russia, which ruled Muscovy and the Russian Empire for five generations from 1613 to 1762. From 1762 to 1917 Russia was ruled by a combined branch of the House of Romanov and the House of Oldenburg, known as Holstein-Gottorp-Romanov.

One of the imperial Fabergé eggs presented by Nicholas II to his wife.The Romanov family continues to exist today. Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna of Russia has the strongest claim to the Russian throne. However, despite the collapse of the Soviet Union and campaigns by her supporters for recognition as the constitutional monarch, it seems unlikely that she will ever gain the throne. The Russian people have so far evidenced little popular support for the resurrection of a Russian monarchy, even on a constitutional basis.

Maria Vladimirovna's father, Vladimir Cyrillovitch, was the last male dynast of the Romanov Family. The basis of which is the contention that all other males descended from Emperor Nicholas I of Russia married in violation of the House Laws with the result that their offspring did not possess any inheritance rights to the Russian throne. Under the Semi-Salic succession promulgated by Emperor Paul I of Russia, when the last male Romanov dynast died, the succession would pass to his closest female relative with valid succession rights. Contending that he was the last male Romanov dynast, Vladimir Cyrillovitch declared that his daughter would succeed as his closest female relation. Accordingly, when her father died in 1992, Maria succeeded as the Head of the Imperial Family of Russia on the basis of her assertion that she is now the last male-line descendant of any Russian emperor not to be of a morganatic marriage.

The only thing I don't like about it is the fact that everyone seems so focused on the end of the Romanov dynasty.

Found this website which gives an outline of the Romanov Dynasty which began in 1613.
