Further to the reference posted above, I'd highly recommend having a look at:
Saller and Shaw 1984 who look into several thousand tombstones of various periods to assess familial relations and includes a fairly large chapter on assessing the identity of these mysterious heirs
Hope, V. Trophies and tombstones: commemorating the Roman soldier’ in R. Gilchrist (ed.) The Social Commemoration of Warfare. World Archaeology Vol. N: 35.1 (2003), 79-97.
Hope, V.‘Inscription and Sculpture: the Construction of Identity in the Military Tombstones of Roman Mainz’ in G. Oliver (ed.), Funerary Inscriptions: Problems and Prospects. Liverpool Classical Press (2000), 155-186.
The various bibliogrpahies of these three works will also be unendingly useful.
Enjoy.
