I don't know any specific links but there is plenty of research and information about the struggles and continuation of abuse through multiple generations when parents have trauma histories. It is a very common thing. There have been studies on epigenetics and studies on attachment trauma from parents who have attachment failure... so much info out there. I would say that parents with a history of trauma / PTSD continuing the cycle because of poor parenting skills is the rule rather than the exception.
My own parents weren't narcissists but both of them were both very damaged because of their own childhood abuse. This is a very common thing.
