What might be interesting is a scan of DNA libraries from all over Europe. If Ludwig had any romantic dalliances, it’s possible some of his direct descendants are unknowingly out there.

OTOH, if any of his descendants tended to marry Jews, Adolph’s boys might have wiped them out anyway...

Are we sure this wasn’t the powdered wig’s dna?
To: TheElectionWasStolen
The powdered wig went out of style in the 1790s, when LvB was in his 20s. He did not wear it for the rest of his life.
