I haven't! Though I should pick it up. WWI and the Russian Revolution have been a topic of interest recently, so thank you for the recommendation!
Maybe! They were found about a year apart, if I'm not mistaken. There's probably a bit of a push to have both for unidentified persons, as it's had a lot of accomplishments in recent years. Maybe I've just been reading up on the ones that have, but it seems to me there's been quite a few people who've gotten their names back from 2013 up until this year!
It is very beautifully written so far (I'm 100 something pages in, a description of Anna Anderson's early life as an impostor Anastasia Romanov). It has plenty of descriptions of the setting of the Romanovs and their daily life, a glimpse into the world.
I would think that UIDs would be more likely to have both mtDNA and nucDNA than missing people but I have no idea, just seems like less trouble to get one sample then both.
Definitely a lot of former UIDS got their names back recently...Michelle Garvey, Brenda Gerow, Tammy Jo Alexander, Barbara Precht, to name a few. I'm sure, at times, a lot of those cases seemed hopeless--WS members tried for a decade to identify Tammy Jo using NamUs and Charley Project--but they can always be solved if people work together! Sounds cheesy but it's true.
