Knowing your question has been here for sometime you may have already received the following information, but here goes.
I recently learned the following:When there was no heir (son)to carry on the family name and inherit the family title,fortune, properties, etc. the only way for a daughter to inherit and have her son(s) inherit was for her husband to take on her family name as his own. Sorry I cannot give you an official resource for verification. I am very new to all of this. Good luck. SB
