In 1991, during a construction work, workers found the remains of the royal Romanov family in a shallow grave in Yekaterinburg in Russia. Parts of nine skeletons were found. The remains were identified as those of the Tsar and Tsarina and three of their children. The remains of two other children were missing, Alexei and Anastasia. The rest of the skeletons belonged to the family doctor, valet, maid and the cook.
