Tzar Nickolas and his family were killed in 1918, who was identify in the grave?

Question by Eloise M: Tzar Nickolas and his family were killed in 1918, can you tell me who was identify in the grave?
The Soviets dug a grave and put 9 bodies in the grave, including their staff. But there was a total of 11 people. The Soviets said they burned 2 bodies. I would like to know , according to DNA , who was identified in the grave. There were 7 family members and 4 of their staff. Did they ever dig in the burn area for DNA of the burned victims?

only 2 bodies missing from the grave were the 2 youngest children Anastasia and Alexei, giving credence to the belief that they were spared. Alexei’s hemophilia means he would not survive very long. Personally I think Anastasia did survive. Why not take the servants out of the grave, their bodies being found was not important.
