Explain this Russian guy to me.

The history of the czars is a big subject. The connection we are focused on is a prince Nicholas, eldest son of Alexander III, who according to their history is listed as deceased in 1865. However, our family history has him being disowned by his family for looting the treasury. He fled to England. Within several years he had married an English Lady in 1861, they had four daughters born in England and a fifth daughter born at sea as the family 'relocated' to America.

It seems that Prince Nicky as he called himself was quite the speculator, losing money for his clients, his one steady feature. He had already visited America before his marriage and found it easy to return there, probably since there was no other place he was welcome. Eventually they settled in Denver, circa 1880. At that time there was a great deal of wealth in the form of precious metals being extracted from the mountains.

There was a number of scandals involving Nicky, the greatest being the murder of his son in law married to Rose Marie his oldest daughter, all of which Nicky was able to elude. There is the terrible tale of Violet Marie, a middle daughter that died of Scarlett fever in England, was buried but her funeral disrupted and finally her exhumation and relocation to the family plot in Denver.
