Louis XVII - Did he die in the Tower?

[Carol Jean]

It was explained to me the the mother's mtdna only passed down to her son---on the male line but went from her to her daughter and then to her daughter's daughter and so on down the female line.  A male's DNA passes down from son to son--down the male line---and again only to his own daughter.  Are you saying this is not correct---that I was informed about this---and it is not right?  I wish to know the actual truth of how and to whom DNA and mtdna is passed down from generation to generation.  Thanks for explaining this to me.

Hi, I am back. I hope to be able to post some pictures from my book on this forum but not sure how to do it.  Carol Jean
