A few years ago when I was living in Perth, Western Australia, a local paper carried a story how a Mauritian man, who lived most of his life in South Africa, believed his grand-mother, by kind of adoption, was a daughter of Czar Nicholas II. And last week I received a letter from a friend with yet another newspaper cutting about the same story. The Mauritian, Gabriel Louis Duval, has continued his research and written a small book about it all. As the newspaper article provided a URL for this book http://www.aprincessinthefamily.tk I ordered copies. They arrived this morning and I quickly read through it, and it sounds convincing to me.

I think the story is important and interesting enough to tell to you all, and as the book is very cheap some may want to order a copy.
Best wishes
