Personally, I don't find Laura Kitrell's "remarkably similar" to be indicative that the Oswald doppelgangers could pass for each other, or even so far as to indicate they were twins. The photos that we have, which are in my essay, show a similarity at age 13 (Ridglea Elementary vs. Bronx Zoo), age 18-20 (Lee ONI vs. Harvey Santa Ana) and 24 (accused assassin vs. Carousel Club)- these photos all show a similarity that can be attributable to cousins.
There was intermarriage between the Claveria and Votier families. Aminthe Votier's mother was Marie Claverie, and her aunt Anna also married into the Votier family. Which suggests this kind of intermarriage may have gone back a few generations, resulting in a stronger-then-usual genetic similarity between Marguerite Claverie and Aminthe Votier.
Anyways, that scenario is less of a stretch to me than conjecturing that "test tube twins" were implanted in the wombs of Marguerite and Aminthe.
Also, I'm not signed onto the Gardos narrative, of Harvey Oswald being partly raised by Hungarians et. al. and thereby acquiring the rudiments of the Russian language. I found a great article about Oswald's Russian language efforts by none other than Greg Parker:

I have to agree with Greg that he learned this difficult Cyrillic-script language on his own, with the help of Berlitz books, and probably with an assist from the military at some point during his career.
My own experience, during my year in Alaska in 1993, after only a few weeks with a Berlitz guide I was able to compose a 2-page letter entirely in Cyrillic Russian. I was motivated, ha-ha, I was hoping to date a beautiful Russian girl and sent the letter to Moscow. I told her about the onion-domed churches I'd flown over on the way to my ship.
And I recall a comment by Jim Garrison, about Oswald scoring "poorly"- about 50%- on formal Russian tests while in the military, in which most people would be lucky to score even 5%. It comes to you eventually, like anything else, but the Cyrillic is especially daunting, and there are special grammar rules as well, just like English.
"Alik" wrote some beautiful letters in Russian to Marina- and these are reprinted in the Warren volumes- and Robert Doran posited that there was even a 3rd Oswald responsible for these. But I found that a bit much and expressed that in my review of the book at Amazon.
Anyone interested in this topic should probably grab a copy of his book Mistaken Identity pronto, because Infinity Publishing- which had 7,000 authors- has recently fallen apart. You can't depend on the book always being available.
