All the Ducks' relatives I know about, from cartoons
or comics,are here!!!
Some relations between the characters may be wrong due to a mistake
from the translators...
The characters below the tree are classed by generations and by order
of appearance in the tree. Be careful with generations : some names are
used for several characters. For instance, you'll have 3 Donald's, 3 Douglas
McDuck's, 5 Angus McDuck's, 3 Eider's (note that Eider is a mixt name)...
I've called XXX Daisy's mother's name, to simplify the tree.
Click on the tree below to see the full-sized one :
Note that in the tree:
- grey squares with question marks mean that the character never appeared
and was never mentionned, but needs to exist, these are not "missing characters"
because of a lack of researches (for instance, if Gladstone has a nephew
which carries the same name than his, then he must have a brother who is
the boy's father, but as a brother for Gladstone never appeared and was
never mentionned anywhere, so the square is grey).
- green squares with question marks symbolize characters that have
only appeared by name or were mentionned. For instance, cousin Dora, McTavish
Duck, and uncle Olfert appeared by names in stories but were never seen.
- pink squares are missing scans, so help is welcome.

Rockerduck |
He is Rockerduck's nephew and appears in the story "Paperino e l'isola col singhiozzo", first published in 1972 in the Italian "Almanacco Topolino" #192, by Giancarlo Gatti and Carlo Chendi. He is pretentious, and proud of his "unca'Rockerduck". He is approximately the same age as Huey, Dewey and Louie. Arsène is his French name, his Italian name is Pepito. |

Paperone e il nipote ideale", first published in "Topolino" #1294
from 1980, by the Italian name of "Baldo de Paperi", he is said to be Scrooge's
great-grandnephew-in-law in the French version. He is very ambitious.

| Doofus
Drake |
Regular in the "Duck
Tales" series since the episode "Where
No Duck Has Gone Before", he is a fat Junior Woodchuck who admires
Launchpad McQuack. The episode "Duck
to the Future" reveals us that he is gonna be married to Webby
in the future...
|
| Webbigail "Webby"
Vanderquack |
Created by the Disney Studios for the series "Duck
Tales", since 1987, she is Betina Beakley's granddaughter and Scrooge's
adopted niece. She has lost her parents very early, so she has been raised
by her grandma.
* |
| Genie
"Johnny" |
This magic character appeared in the movie from 1990
"DuckTales:
The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp". He was first called Genie,
and Huey, Dewey and Louie called him Johnny for the people not to discover
he is in fact a genie. Eventually, Scrooge makes him free, so he becomes
a real little boy, and Scrooge adopts him...

| Bubba Duck
the Cave Duck |
This primitive Duck who was first encountered during
an accidental trip in to Duckburg's prehistoric past, together with his
triceratops Tootsie, and then adopted by Scrooge in the "Duck
Tales" second season special five parts serial "Time
is Money", from 1988.
|
| Dickie
Duck |
Created by Romano Scarpa in "Arriva
Paperetta Ye-Ye", first published in "Topolino" #577, from 1966,
she is said to be Goldie's Granddaughter. We can easily imagine that she
is a Scrooge's and Goldie's hidden daughter's daughter, but some prefer
say that she is Goldie grandniece or one of the orphan she is said to have
helped in Barks' "Back to the Klondike", from 1953...

| "Wee" Angus
McDuck |
In "One
For The Whammy", first published in "Donald Duck" #65, from 1959,
by Tony Strobl, he is said to be one of two Scrooge's scottish nephews.
He's grown up to be an athlete.
1 |
| Phooey
Duck |
Sometimes, a fourth nephew appears in stories (especially
in early stories), with no names or the name Phooey,or Fooey, or Fooie,
or Phooie (they could be a shortened version of the name "Phillibert").
Most of the time, he is a mistake by the artists. His first appearance
is perhaps in "Donald Duck" daily
strip from Jan. 11, 1946, by Taliaferro, George Waiss and Bob Karp.

Unnamed Ducks with a " " |
In "The
Overnight Hero", from 1963, by Tony Strobl, John Liggera, and Vic
Lockman, first published in "Donald Duck" #91, is a reunion af several
characters from the Duck family. Many of them are unnamed. We just know
the name of "Cosmo" Duck, who is Donald's cosmonaut cousin , and Dickey
Drake, a detective.
1 |
the Cave Duck  |
(Not Bubba!) He is a lost relative of Donald that the
family discover with a travel in a mysterious valley with prehistoric animals,
in the story "Uncle
Donald and His Nephews - Family Fun", from Dell Giant # 38, from
1960, drawn by Tony Strobl and written by Carl Fallberg.

| April, May and June
Duck |
They are Daisy's nieces (Daisy's sister's daughters exactly).
They've been created by Barks in "Flip
Decision", first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories"
#149, from 1953. They seem to be as old as Huey, Dewey and Louie.
** |
| Huebert "Huey"
Duck |
Created with his brothers by Taliaferro and Ted Osborne
in a
strip from October 17, 1937, by the name of Huey Duck, he is the first
of Donald's triplet nephews. The three nephews come to Donald's with a
letter of his sister Della, because they have made a cracker burst
under their father's seat (their fazther is Daisy's brother, according
to Don Rosa, who also decided that they were born around 1940). Then, after
receiving a telegram from her, Don send them back to Della's on
21, November, 1937, but in 1940, they are back and settle down at Donald's
(maybe after Della's death?), who will raise them. In 1938, the nephews
first appear in a short movie in "Donald's
Nephews", a kind of adaptation of the strip. The name "Huey" is
inspired by the political figure Huey P. Long of Louisiana. His real name,
Huebert, is revealed in a Quack Pack episode. He usually wears red colours.
** |
| Deuteronomy D. "Dewey"
Duck |
Dewey Duck the second nephew, whose real first name,
Deuteronomy is also revealed in this QuackPack episode, usually wears blue.
The name "Dewey" is inspired by the political figure Thomas E. Dewey of
New York.
** |
| Louis "Louie" "Luey"
Duck |
Louie Duck (his name is also spelt "Luey", in the 1949
cartoon "Donald's
Happy Birthday") the third nephew, whose real name is also revealed
in Quack Pack, wears green. The name "Dewey" is inspired by the political
figure Louie Schmidt, a friend of a Disney artist.
** |
| Donald and Daisy's children | In "O
casamento do Pato Donald" ("Donald Duck's wedding"), a kind of
remake of the 1954 cartoon "Donald's
Diary", by Soares Rodrigues, Rodavin, de Mello and Miyaura, first
published in Brazil in "Série Ouro Disney" #1, Donald and
Daisy marry and have sextuplets children, which are said to be, in the
French version, a boy, then a girl, then another boy, then another girl,
and then male real twins. We only see three boys and a girl when they are
children, and three boys and one girl when they are teenagers. The story
is said to be a dream Donald had, but I prefered to include them...
In the 1959 short "How to Have an Accident at Work", Donald is married to Daisy and they have an unnamed son. 1 |
| Shamrock
Gander |
He is Gladstone's nephew, and as lucky as him. He first
appeared in a Strobl story from "Four
Color" #649, 1955, and then in a few other stories, especially
Brazilian stories.
|
| Dugan
Duck |
Created in 1982 by Irineu Soares Rodrigues by the original
name of Biquinho in the story "O
furacão branco e preto", in which he jumps out of the paper
and make a mess at editor's office, first published in the Brazilian "Tio
Patinhas" # 202 , he is very famous in Brazil. He is Fethry's nephew. He
seems to be a little younger than Huey, Dewey and Louie.
* |
| Socrates "Sock" M.
Gosling |
This intelligent nephew of Gus and relative of Donald
Duck and Huey, Dewey and Louies first appeared in an
April 4, 1944 strip by Al Taliaferro, George Waiss and Bob Karp, and
then in a few other strips in the mid-'40s, and then he didn't appear anymore
in stories, except in a recent David Gerstein story.
|
| Laurinha
Filamento |
Little Helper's robot girlfriend created by Gyro Gearloose, she appeared in the stories "Amor, a quanto me obrigas", from 1973, by Carlos Edgar Herrero, and "Dois é bom, três é demais", from 1974, by Sérgio Lima. A female Helper had already been imagined by Barks in one fo his stories (in a "thinking bubble" over Helper's head...) and the picture in the tree is from her. |
| Li'l Helper
(aka Li'l Bulb) |
This little robot created by Gyro Gearloose in Barks' "The Cat Box", from 1956, is called Li'l Helper and has been renamed "Li'l Bulb" since 1987 with the series "Duck Tales". The story "Gyro's First Invention", from 2002, by Don Rosa, explains how he has been created. |
| Wimpie | In the stories "Spieken" and "Neef Billie", both by Ruud Straatman and José Colomer Fonts, published on fourth cover of the 1986 Dutch "Donald Duck" #1986-37 and #1986-45, appears this nephew of Gyro, who is called Wimpie (Newton is called Billie is the Netherlands, so they are different characters) |
| Newton
Gearloose |
He is Gyro's nephew. He is a member of the Junior Woodchucks.
He seems to be a little older than Huey, Dewey and Louie. His first appearance
is in "Ting-A-Ling
Trouble", by Phil De Lara and Vic Lockman, first published in "Walt
Disney's Comics and Stories" #308, in 1966.

II (àtop)
| Oscar
Gander |
Scrooge's nephew, Oscar Paperone in Italian, first appeared in "Zio Paperone e l'amuleto su Misura", by Romano Scarpa, Giorgio Cavazzano and Carlo Chendi, first published in the Italian "Topolino" #363 , in 1962, he brings bad luck. I have him being son of Goosetave and Matilda, because Barks makes them date in an early family tree, and it is the only way for him to be Scrooge's true nephew (we all remember him saying "I'm not your uncle" to Gladstone, why would he consider Oscar as a nephew? and Gladstone's family is always lucky, on his mother's side, so Oscar cannot be his brother). The only other apparition he made was "Paperone e il nipote portasfortuna", from 1966, by Scarpa, Cavazzano and Rodolfo Cimino, first published in "Topolino" #536. |
| Slye
McDuck |
In "One
For The Whammy", first published in "Donald Duck" #65, from 1959,
by Tony Strobl, he appears as one of two Scrooge's scottish nephews. He
is a very stingy duck.
1 |
| Diamond
Dick |
In the 1948 Barks story "The
Old Castle's Secret", he is a dogfaced man who makes the Ducks
believe he is Scottie McTerrier, keeper of the McDuck Manor in Dismal Downs,
because Scottie is dead and he looks a lot like him. He disguises himself
into the ghost of Sir Quackly McDuck, and tries to scare the Ducks to steal
the treasure, which he knowed about because "his third wife was a McDuck
on her great Grandfather's side".

| Mel
Mallard |
Mel Mallard is Donald's private detective cousin in the
episode of Quack Pack "Huey
Duck, P.I.".
1 |
| Pingo | He is a penguin cousin of Donald and Gladstone who appeared in Italian stories in the 90'es. He probably first appeared in "Paperino e Gastone presentano: il cugino Pingo", by Luciano Gatto and Fabio Michelini, first published in "Topolino" #2252, from 1999, and then in "Paperina senza diario", by Alessandro Gottardo and Fabio Michelini, first published in "Topolino" #2261, from 1999 too, and probably in other stories. |
| Wispen | This cousin of Donald appeared in "Donald's
Cousin", by José Cardona Blasi, Tom Anderson and Mike Sharland,
first published in the German "Micky Maus" #1988-16, from 1988. He is called
Wispen in French, Dieter in Germany, Fjern in Denmark, and Hasse in Sweden.

| Jake | In "Paperinik
e il grande Jake", by Carlo Panaro and Lucio Leoni, first published
in the Italian "Paperinik e altri supereroi" # 22, in 1995, a long seen
distant cousin visits Donald, called Jake.
1 |
| Bugsy | Donald's cousin, from the story "Le Detective Collant"
( "The Sticking Detective" ), published in the French "Picsou
Magazine" #258.
(French name used here, I don't know the original references of the story). 1 |
| Theobald | This character appeared in Verci de Mello's " O
primo sem cabeça", first published in the Brazilian "Urtigão"
#130, from 1992, by the original name of Teobaldo, in which he is Grandma
cousin who pretends to be dead just to get rid of his debt collectors,
living then hidden in his own little country house, near Grandma's farm,
and scaring people acting as a headless ghost...
1 |
| Cousin Farmer | In "Farm
Education", by Jack Bradbury, first published in 1964 in
"Topolino" #423, he is Donald's cousin and lives in a farm. I don't have
his original name, but his French name is "Grandavoine" (Grain d'avoine
= Oats seed), and his Danish name is "Fætter Farmer" (Cousin Farmer).
1 |
| Tapfou
Duck |
In Vic Lockman and Mike Aren's "Why
All the Crabby Ducks?" , first published in "Donald Duck" #136,
from 1971, appears this relative of Donald, called "Tapfou" (Tap = hit,
fou = mad) in French, and Fjollerik And (Fjollerik = some kind of
crazy character) in Danish. I don't know his original name. He is a crazy
architect who saves Duckburg from a giant wave, and Donald discovers he
is a distant relative of him.
1 |
| Dora | In an
August 12, 1938 strip by Al Taliaferro and Bob Karp, Daisy brings a
dummy to her cousin Dora.
She could be the same character than Daisy's friend Dora. 1 |
| Nancy | She is Donald's cousin from Bob Gregory's "A
Likely Story", first published in "Donald Duck" #148, from 1973,
in which Daisy is jealous of her. She is called "Nancy" in the Danish verison,
and probably in the original verison.

| "Cosmo" Duck, Dickey Drake,
and other Ducks with a " " |
In "The
Overnight Hero", from 1963, by Tony Strobl, John Liggera, and Vic
Lockman, first published in "Donald Duck" #91, is a reunion af several
characters from the Duck family. Many of them are unnamed. We just know
the name of "Cosmo" Duck, who is Donald's cosmonaut cousin , and Dickey
Drake, a detective.
1 |
| Cedrick
Canvasback |
He is Daisy's railway tycoon cousin, created by Carl
Fallberg and Paul Murry , in an untitled
story first published in "Donald Duck" #30, from 1953.
1 |
| Cousin "Lapie" | This chatty duck has been created by Tony Strobl in "The
Big Mouth", first published in 1981 in Italy in "Almanacco Topolino"
#296. He is Daisy's cousin. He looks very much like Huey, Dewey and Louie,
so we can easily say that Don Rosa could be true when he say that Daisy's
brother is their father. (I don't his original name, but the French one
is "Lapie", so help is welcome)
1 |
| Laura | In a
December 27, 1948 strip by Al Taliaferro and Bob Karp, Daisy gets a
present, with a letter which says "Congratulations Daisy. From Cousin
Laura".
1 |
| Daisy's cousin | In William Van Horn's "Duos
and Don'ts", from 2001, first published in "Donald Duck & Co."
# 2001-10, Donald hikes with Daisy's cousin because Daisy has a cold. Original
name needed.
1 |
| Daisy's cousin | In an untitled
story from the comics series "Daisy Duck's Diary", first published
in 1956 in "One Shots" #743, drawn by Pete Alvarado, appears a cousin of
Daisy. I don't know the original name, I don't even know if it's a male
or a female.
1 |
| Daisy's sister | In Barks' "Flip
Decision", first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories"
#149, from 1953, it is said that Daisy has a sister, who is April, May
and June's mother, but we will never see her in comics.
1 |
| Daisy's brothers / Huey, Dewey
and Louie's father |
Huey, Dewey and Louie's father is seen unnamed in Don
Rosa's Duck family tree, and in Mark Worden's
Duck Family Tree. According to Don Rosa, he is Daisy's brother,
which would explain why Huey, Dewey and Louie carry the name "Duck". In
the 1954 cartoon "Donald's
Diary", we can see that Daisy has three younger brothers, looking
like Huey, Dewey and Louie, so we could assume that the nephews's father
is one of them.
Seems that triplets run in the family!!! Huey, Dewey and Louie's father is probably dead, as Donald raises alone his nephews. In the Duck Family Tree from The Little Big Book of Disney, this Fred Duck is April May and June's father, but this can't be true, as we know that the girls are Daisy's sister's daughters. |
| Della "Dumbella" Thelma
Duck |
First called Della (after Taliaferro's aunt Della) and
introduced as Donald's cousin, by Taliaferro when her signature appears
on a letter in a
strip from October 17, 1937, she is called "sister Dumbella"
in the short "Donald's
Nephews", and then Thelma Duck by Barks in an unpublished family
tree, which could be her middle name, and then in Mark
Worden's adaptation on Barks Tree, called Thelma too and for the
first time appearing in person. When Don Rosa drew his
Duck Family Tree, published in 1993, he chose to rename her Della
again, for some reasons, and in this tree her portrait looks a lot like
Worden's. Then she made cameo appearances as a child in "Lo$
11 : The Empire-Builder from Calisota", "Lo$
12 : The Richest Duck In The World ", and in "The
Sign of the Triple Distelfink" by Don Rosa, when she was about
10, and we understand that she is Donald's twin sister. And she finally
appears as an adult in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree. She sure has died after
Donald had sent the nephews back to hers, as it is Gladstone who would
have raised the nephews if Donald didn't exist, according to Don Rosa.
And we learn in Don Rosa's "W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N."
that Della had consigned her sons to Donald. An hypothesis could
be that they have made a cracker burst under their father's chair, then
he has been to the hospital because he has heart problems. Then, Della
send a letter to Donald asking him to send her sons back to her, because
she thinks his husband goes better, but he finally dies, and then Della
suicides, letting a letter for Donald consigning her sons to him.
|
| Donald "Don" Fauntleroy
Duck |
Created by Walt Disney in 1934 for the Silly Symphony
"The
Wise Little Hen", he is said to be born in 1920 by Don Rosa, on
13/13 in the cartoon "Donald's
Happy Birthday", and to have his birthday on a Friday 13 in "The
Three Caballeros"...But he is said to be born on a 06/09 in Don
Rosa's "The
Duck Who Never Was" (06/09/1934 was the date of his first appearance)
from 1994. Maybe the egg has been layed on 03/13 and hatched on 06/09?
Della is his twin sister, according to Don Rosa, but we don't know if they
come from the same egg or from different eggs. His second name is Fauntleroy,
according to the cartoon "Donald
Gets Drafted". His adress is 13, Quack Street, Duckburg, 1313,
Calisota, USA , his phone number is (3)9720, and his car is registered
313.
** |
| Princess Reginella | This young submariner Duckbill girl created in 1972 by
Rodolfo Cimino and Giorgio Cavazzano in "Paperino
e l'avventura sottomarina", first published in "Topolino" #173,
has lived a real love story with Donald Duck in at least three stories.
|
| Unnamed lady | In Barks' "Lifeguard
Daze", from 1943, first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and
Stories" #33, Donald, who is a lifeguard, dates this young lady whom he
saved from a shark. She originally had breasts, but Barks has been obliged
to omit them.
1 |
| Donna
Duck |
In the cartoon "Don Donald" from 1937, we're introduced to his girlfriend, a hotblooded, mercurial and passionate señorita named Donna Duck. The Disney Studios and a lot of people's opinion on her is that she is the same character than Daisy Duck. Donna could be her middle name or a scene name, or the name of the part she plays as an actor in the short. (This opinion is reflected in Massimo De Vita and Fabio Michelini's "Paperino e il segreto della 313", from 1995, first published in "Topolino" #2071, in which it is told that Donald and Daisy played as actors a while ago in a movie which tool place in Mexico, which is, of course, "Don Donald"...). An hypothesis uttered by some fans would be that Donna is April, May and June's mother and Daisy's sister (Don Rosa told it would be a good idea). But there is a problem : Donna Duck made another appearance... In 11 Bob Karp and Al Taliaferro's strips from August 7 to August 18, 1951, Donna appears as Donald's sidekick. It's not said whether her last name is Duck or another last name (even her mailbox has only "Señorita Donna"). She even meets Daisy, so it's the first time it's explicitly told that the two characters are definitely different characters. |
| Mr Gonzales | In a Karp and Taliaferro strip
from August
18, 1951, the last Donna Duck strip, Donald is introduced by Donna
to her fiancé, Mr Gonzales (Obviously Taliaferro's "inside" joke
making a caricature of the creator Manuel Gonzales)
That'd explain why Donald doesn't date Donna anymore... 1 |
| Daisy
Duck |
She first appears in 1940 in the cartoon "Mr.
Duck Steps Out", if we don't count the 1937 "Don
Donald" for the reasons below (see Donna). She is both Donald's
and Gladstone's girlfriend, but she'll finally marry Donald. She is at
the same time Donald's girlfriend, wife, sister-in-law (according to Don
Rosa), and many times cousin by many ancestors. Her phone number is given
"Wrong
Number" from 1954, by Barks: Citrus 2437.
** |
| Angela
Duck |
In the Italian story of 1989 "Poker
di cuori", first published in "Topolino" #1744, by Paolo Crecchi
and Paolo Ongaro we are introduced to Daisy's blond cousin : Angela Duck.
She is as lucky as Gladstone. Her arrival turns the love triangle of Donald-Daisy-Gladstone
to a love square Donald-Daisy-Gladstone-Angela since both Donald and Gladstone
are after her and Daisy and the girls want both! But when Gladstone and
Angela find out their presence cancels the other's luck Angela decides
to leave Duckburg for ever.
1 |
| Cousin Eggbert | In "Busy
In Big Business", from 1996, by Per Erik Hedman and Vicar, we can
briefly see Daisy's cousin Désiré. Daisy told Donald that
this cousin is so rich and has such big cars because he worked hard to
become a big lawyer. Ægbert (Eggbert) is his Danish name.
1 |
| Fred
Duck |
In the 1987 story "A
Picture of Justice" (a.k.a. "Art is a Relative Thing"),
first published in Netherlands in "Donald Duck" #1987-45, by Freddy
Milton, is a character named Fred Duck who is Daisy's cousin. In
Monique Peterson's Ducks Family Tree, he has been wrongly depicted
as April, May and June's father.
1 |
| Gladstone
Gander |
Created by Barks in "Wintertime
Wager", first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" #88
in 1948, he is Donald's lucky cousin, born the same day than his mother
(maybe a Friday 13 ?). He made a few appearances on TV in "Duck
Tales". In an old version of Barks'
family tree (Mark Worden used these references for his Duck
Family Tree), he was Luke The Goose's and Daphne Duck's son, but
they died from overating after a picnic lunch, so Goosetave Gander and
Matilda McDuck adopted him. But in 1991, Barks changed his mind and made
another
version of his tree in which Gladstone is Grandma's daughter's
son. In Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, he
is Goostave Gander's and Daphne Duck (Grandma's daughter)'s son.

| Andus
den Dristige |
In "A
Short Boxing Career", from 1974, by Victor Arriagada Rios and Ebbe
Iversen, first published in the Danish "Anders And & Co." #1974-21,
we can see a picture of this box fighter cousin of Donald (Danish name).

| Abner "Whitewater"
Duck |
In Barks' "Log Jockey", first published in 1962 in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" #267, he is said to be a distant cousin of Donald, huey, Dewey and Louie living in the forest. In at least Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree and Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree, he is Fethry's brother. |
| Gipfel - Duck | He appears in Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree, as Fethry and Whitewater's brother, but I don't know which story he is from... (German name) |
| Fethry
Duck |
This wacky cousin of Donald has been created in 1964
by Dick Kinney and Al Hubbard in "The
Health Nut", first published in "Topolino" #453, in 1964. In his
first stories, he lives in a city far from Duckburg, then he lives in Duckburg,
but he travels most of the time around the world. In Don
Rosa's Duck Family Tree (although Don Rosa didn't want to
include this character because it's not a Barksian character and he almost
never appeared in US stories) and Volker
Reiche's Duck Family Tree, he is said to be Whitewater's
brother.

| Gloria dal Brasile | Created by Gerson Luiz Borlotti Texeira in 1972 in "Paz, amor e Glória", first published in the Brazilian "Zé Carioca" #1099, she is Fethry's hippie girlfriend. |
| Kildare
Coot |
Created by Romano Scarpa by the Italian name "Sgrizzo Papero", in "Sgrizzo, il piu' papero balzano del mundo", first published in 1964 in "Topolino" #465, as Donald's 4th cousin, he is a very odd Duck... |
| Gus
Goose |
Donald's lazy and big eater cousin first appeared in
the cartoon "Donald's
Cousin Gus", from 1939, where we first see his mother'sname : Fanny.
He "works" at Grandma Duck's farm. In Barks' first
version his family tree from the early 50's (Mark Worden used these
references for his Duck Family Tree),
he was Luke The Goose's nephew, making him a distant cousin of Donald,
but in the 1991 version, he is Donald's father's sister's son. And in Don
Rosa's Duck Family Tree, he is Grandma's brother's daughter Fanny's
son (that's the reference I used). He made a cameo appearance in "Mickey's
Christmas Carol" (1983) and apparitions in some episodes of the
"House
of Mouse" series.
" ** |
| Mimi | In the 1998 story "Ciccio
a primavera", by Bruno Concina and Luciano Gatto, first published
in "Topolino" #2210, Gus Goose falls in love with a city girl who only
goes to the country when she has vacations. She also has feelings for him,
but at the end of the story she returns in the city and the "love affair"
ends completely. Gus, to show off with her, had started to work hard, but
she was lazy as him! Her unnamed uncle appears in the story too.

| Greta | In an untitled
story by Bill Wright and Don Christensen, published in "Walt Disney's

Gearloose |
He first appears in 1952 in Barks' "Gladstone's
Terrible Secret", first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and
Stories" #140. At his beginning, he was shown fatter than now, he must
have had cholesterol problems. In Tony Strobl's
Duck Family Tree, he is shown to be a relative of Donald.
He was regular on "Duck
Tales" TV show.

| John D.
Rockerduck |
This rival of Scrooge was created by Barks in 1961 in
"Boat
Busters", first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories"
#255. He'll only be used once by Barks. Then, he became famous in Europe.
He is used a lot in Italian stories. He must be the third richest duck,
as Flintheart is already the second one. Don Rosa used him only once in
"Lo$
4 : The King of the Copper Hill", in which we can meet his parents
too. He is in this tree because he and Scrooge have an aunt in common :
aunt Eider.

| Rumpus
McFowl |
Created by Van Horn in "It's
all relative" , first published in 1994 in the Norvegian "Donald
Duck & Co." # 1994-33, as Scrooge's cousin, we discover in Van Horn's
"Secrets",
first published in 1999 in "Uncle Scrooge" #318, that he is in fact Fergus'
hidden son he has had before Scrooge with a woman (I think she is Downy
and Vera's cousin) a thing Rumpus discovers in the story "Travails",
by Van Horn, first published in the Swedish "Kalle Anka & C:o"# 2000-19,
from 2000. Then, her mother ran away not for him to discover that he was
an awful McDuck, and that he had a stingy half-brother: Scrooge McDuck.
I believe in that. Don't forget that Fergus is 10 years more than Downy:
he must have had a life before her!
|
| Aunt
Agathe |
In Beatriz Bolster's 1985 story "The
Thundering Duckwoman", first published in the Danish "Anders And
Ekstra" #1985-11 in 1985, she is Scrooge's very bad tempered explorer cousin,
called Agathe in Denmark and Philomène in French.

| Friedrich
Von Drake |
Created in the 1982's "História de Patópolis: O século das luzes", first published in "Almanaque Disney" #136, by Ivan Saidenberg, Irineu Soares Rodrigues, and Verci de Mello, he is Ludwig's cousin who lived during 1900, and who has known Scrooge when he was young, Gyro's grandpa, Prof. Pardalto, and Emil Eagle's grandpa, Prof. Gaviancio. He made another apparition in "Nos tempos do avião a lenha", from 1983, published in "O Pato Donald" #1646, by the same authors. His original name is Frederico Von Pato, so I called him Friedrich, which sounds more Austrian. |
| Ludwig
Von Drake |
Donald's uncle, since the TV show"Walt
Disney's Wonderful World of Color: An Adventure in Color", from September
24, 1961, he first appeared in a comicbook in "Ludwig von Drake" #1 (Nov.
1961), in "Duckburg,
U.S.A.", by Tony Strobl and Steve Steere. In this story, he arrives
in Duckburg by train from Vienna, and it is said that the Ducks had never
seen this relative before. According to Don Rosa, he is Matilda McDuck's
husband. His mother's voice is heard in an episode of "Mouseworks"
: "Time
Reverser", and also in a "House of Mouse" show, "Mickey's Magical
Christmas - Snowed in at the House of Mouse".
** |
| Matilda
McDuck |
She is first said to be Scrooge's sister and Gladstone's
adoptive mother, in Barks' first tree,
and then Barks let her out of his 1991 tree.
Then, Don Rosa used her in his family tree,
several episodes of Lo$,
and in"Of
Ducks, Dimes and Destinies". I think Don Rosa chose to took her
in his universe for her to be Ludwig's wife, even if he wasn't allowed
to show that. She also appears in
Mark Worden's
Duck Family Tree.

| Gideon
McDuck |
Scrooge's younger brother, owning a newspaper, created by Scarpa in 1956's "Paperino e i Gamberi in Salmi", first published in "Topolino" #132 . But Scrooge is said to be the last McDuck in several Barks stories?! Maybe Fergus has had him out of wedlock, or after Downy's death, and that he hasn't told Scrooge about that? He is very famous in Italy. |
| Bentina
Beakley |
Scrooge's maid, and Webby's grandma, since 1987 in "Duck
Tales".

| "Glittering" Goldie
O'Gilt |
Scrooge's girlfriend during Gold Rush, created by Barks
in 1953 in "Back
to the Klondike", first published in "Four Color" #456. She has
a granddaughter/grandniece: Dickie Duck, created by Scarpa, so she probably
had a child from Scrooge during the time she worked for him. Her real last
name, O'Gilt , has been revealed by Don Rosa. She appeared in several "Duck
Tales"episodes.
** |
| Scrooge D.
McDuck |
You know who he is, don't you? The richest Duck in the
world has been created by Barks in the December, 1947's "Christmas
on Bear Mountain", first published in "Four Color" #178. According
to Don Rosa, he died in 1967. In a new section started in "Picsou Magazine"
#373, "Le Clairon de Donaldville", a kind of "Duckburg Times", it
is told that the newspaper is owned by "Balthazar D. Picsou"
(Scrooge D. McDuck), so his middle name starts with a "D", or he just used
it as a middle letter.

| Brigitta
McBridge |
Created by Scarpa in the 1960's "L'ultimo
Balabu", first published in "Topolino #243, female tycoon, she

McDuck |
Donald's mother. She is first mentionned in Barks'
Duck Family Tree first sketches, from the early 1950's, then she
appears in person in Worden's Duck Family Tree,
and then Don Rosa used her but re-drew her portrait in his Duck Family
Tree, and then in his Lo$,
in "Of
Ducks, Dimes and Destinies", "The
Sign of the Triple Distelfink", and "The
Dream of a Lifetime" in which she appears in person. She is as
bad tempered as her son Donald and her husband Quackmore. She was a baby
when Scrooge was 10. Don Rosa wanted to draw a story about her being back
in Duckburg (she hasn't been seen in public life since 1930), but he hasn't
been allowed to do so by his publisher, who considers her as dead. Scrooge's
horse has been named after her.

| Cyril
McDuck |
Scrooge's cousin in the 1960's story "The Search for Cyril", first published in "Donald Duck" # 70, written by Bob Gregory and drawn by Tony Strobl. His only other appearance was in Giovan Battista Carpi's Duck Family Tree. |

This uncle of Donald and cousin of Scrooge appeared in "Paperino e lo zio d'Europa", by Massimo De Vita and Pier Carpi, and also in "Prologo a "I magnifici tre"", by Giuseppe Perego, a 4 pages sequel to the first story, and he is called "Piclor" in French. He is believed to be rich by the Ducks, who think he has won a lot of money in Europe, but in fact he has no money and is a profiteer. |
| Degenhart
McDuck |
In "The Doony Desert Dilemma", by Tony Strobl and Vic Lockman, from 1968, Donald Duck searches for this missing cousin of Scrooge in the desert. In Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree, he is called Degenhart Duck, but Scrooge's name is Duck too in German, and as he is a cousin of him, he must be a McDuck... |
| Victor
McDuck |
In Luciano Bottaro's 1961 story "Paperino
e il calumet della pace", first published in "Topolino" #290, Scrooge's
cousin Victor McDuck appears. He and Scrooge met while they were searching
for gold in the same area of the western USA, where they tried to kill
each other but failed. Victor never became rich, he later settled in Duckburg.
He stole ten chicken so he was imprisoned for a month and he later became
psychotic and thought everybody was an indian out to get him. Scrooge kind
of cured by naming him "honorary indian".So he was left thinking he was
indian among many. In the same story we are introduced to Scrooge's ancestor
Admiral Douglas McDuck. This is the Greek translation, his Italian name
is Mac Paperon, and no first names are given.

| Bruce
McDuck |
This cousin appears in the 1987 Tino Santanach Hernandez story "Cousin Bruce McDuck", first published in the German "Micky Maus" #1987-45/46. He is stingier than Scrooge. |

This cousin of Scrooge, stingier than him, living in
the wilderness, first appeared in Victor Arriagada Rios and Stefan Printz-Pohlson's
"Visits
Cousin", from 1981, first published in Denmark in "Anders And &
Co." #1981-19. He then re-appeared in Christopher Spencer and Lars Jensen's
"Gall
In The Family", from 2001, first published in the Finnish "Aku
Ankka" #2001-27. In the synopsis of this story, Lars Jensen implied Douglas'
and Scrooge's fathers were brothers, and Stefan Printz-Pohlson has since
decided that
Douglas' full name is Douglas McDuck. However, since the relationship between the fathers was only implied, there's a possibility Douglas' actual relationship with Scrooge will turn out to be different. It's funny to see that Douglas is always criticizing Scrooge' wasteful ways, exactly the same was Scrooge criticizes Donald's wasteful ways... |
| Arpagon
McDuck |
Scrooge's gold digger cousin from Scarpa and Cavazzano's
"As
Into A Glass Darkly", from 1972, first published in "Almanacco

| Nobucks
McDuck |
In 1970, in the story "Too Many McDucks", by Strobl, first published in "Topolino" #783, we can meet a beggar look alike third cousin of Scrooge, called Stracetton de'Paperoni, translated Nobucks McDuck, who he is kidnapped by the Beagle Boys because they think he's Scrooge. Then, a beggar cousin of Scrooge appeared in several S-coded or B-coded stories from the 1970's, and one story from 1985, but each time he carried a different name and had a different personnality (sometimes he does not care about money, and sometimes he tries to take advantage of Scrooge's money and of his ressemblance with Scrooge). I prefered considering them all as the same character. In Brazil, he was named Nadinhas or Galtério. Here is an index of all (?) his appearances, on COA. |
| Douglas
Fryseand |
In the 1984 story "Hillbilly
Cousin", by Victor "Vicar" Arriagadas Rios and Jack Sutter, there
is a prospector cousin of Scrooge called Douglas according to Inducks.
But he can't be the same Douglas as Douglas McDuck, because, at least in
the Danish version in which he is called Freddy Fryseand (Freddt Freesing-duck),
he is told to be 1/4 cousin to Scrooge, and also because he doesn't look
like the other one, although they both have been drawn by Vicar.

| Nellie
Labelle |
In "Nantucket
Nellie",by Victor Arriagada Rios, Jack Sutter and Paul Halas, first
published in Germany in "Micky Maus" #1995-12, from 1995, we are introduced

the gold rush. Here

| Bogey
McDivot |
In "Family
Of Fore", a special 2001 tribute
to Barks Flintheart Glomgold story by Victor Arriagada Rios and
John Lustig, Scrooge inherits from his dead crazy about golf relative Bogey
McDivot, but when he goes to his castle in Scotland, he realizes that Glomgold
was also a relative of Bogey, and so that both families are distantly linked.
Scrooge and Flintheart have to play golf to determinate who will inherit...
of Bogey's golf ground! We only see him on pictures on the castle's wall.

| Flintheart
Glomgold |

Limpopo Valley, South Africa, where he lives in his Money Bin, the second
richest Duck in the world, first appeared in Barks' "The
Second Richest Duck", from 1956, first published in "Uncle $crooge"
#15. Because of apartheid, his origins have been omitted in many stories,
and he lives in Duckburg instead, where he is a member of the Billionnairs'
Club. He is semi-regular on the "Duck
Tales" TV series.

| Uncle Marmaduke
Mallard |
In Barks' "The Sunken Yacht", from 1949, first published in "Walt Disney Comics & Stories" #104, Scrooge makes his nephews believe that their dead uncle Marmaduke Mallard, whom they had never heard about before, bequeathed them a chest with money in it (the money was in fact Scrooge's). Barks' intentions were probably that this character was totally fictive, but we can also consider that they actually have an uncle Marmaduke Mallard. |
| Ebenezer
Duck |
In IP23461, he is just an unnamed cousin whom Donald visits because it's Christmas, but he answers that he hates festivals. We only see him in one panel. He could be the Ebenezer Duck whom we learn about in a family tree in the story "Uncle Donald and His Nephews - Family Fun", from Dell Giant # 38, 1960, drawn by Tony Strobl and written by Carl Fallberg. |
| Unnamed Ducks with a "" |
In "The

Then, in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, he appears in portrait by the name "Goostave" (no more "e") and is Gladstone's biological father and Daphne Duck's husband. He never appeared in any story. |
| Daphne
Duck |
She appears by name in Barks'
early version of his Duck family tree sketches, and in portrait
Mark
Worden's Duck Family Tree, and in these sources she is told to
have married Luke The Goose and to be Gladstone's biological mother, but
she and Luke died from overating at a picnic, and Gladstone was adopted
by Goosetave Gander and Matilda McDuck. Then, she appeared in Don
Rosa's Duck Family Tree, in which she is Goosetave Gander's wife
and Gladstone's mother. She also appeared in Don Rosa's "Lo$

tries to make Gloria marry with one of her costumers, owner of a cheese
factory. But he chokes with a pizza made by Fethry and Mamma Pascoalina

hands.

| Cuthbert
Coot |
In Barks' "Webfooted Wrangler", from 1944, first published in "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" #55, he appears as a cousin of Donald having a ranch. In Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, he is Donald's grandma's brother's son. He also appears in Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree. |
| Fanny
Coot |
Gus' mother Fanny first appeared in the cartoon "Donald's Cousin Gus", where we only can see her signature on a letter. Then, she appeared in portrait in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree, named Fanny Coot, so Don Rosa used references to the cartoon for his tree. A character used as Gus' mother is shown in Mark Worden's Duck Family Tree , but this character was originally an unnamed background goose in Barks' "Jet Witch". Don Rosa kept the same clothes than this unnamed goose for Fanny. Don Rosa first wanted to take Fanny Coot as Grandma's sister, but his publisher didn't like the idea of Gus Goose being of the same generation as Donald's father and $crooge McDuck. |
| Luke
(The) Goose |
Daphne's husband, Gladstone's real father and Gus's uncle in the first family tree of Barks, where he is called Luke The Goose, he is Gus's father in Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree (called Luke Goose : the "The" has been left). He first appeared in person in Mark Worden's Duck Family Tree, but Mark Worden used an unnamed character from Barks' "Jet Witch" as a model. |
| Aunt
Gertie |
In the cartoon "Stuck on Christmas", from "Mickey's
Once Upon a Christmas", 2000, aunt Gertie comes to Donald's for
christmas day, with Huey, Dewey, Louie, Donald, Daisy and Scrooge. Her
name is probably a short for "Gertrude". She must be a distant aunt from
Gus' side, given her corpulence and her "G" name.

?
Goose |
This character, originally used in Barks' "Jet Witch", from 1961, has been chosen by Mark Worden in his Duck Family Tree to represent Gus's mother and Luke's sister. I decided to keep Fanny as being Gus' mother, but I've kept this character as Luke's sister... |

part X - The Invader of Fort Duckburg", where he is shown to be
one of the first Junior Woodchucks. We can also meet him as an old man
in Don Rosa's "Gyro's

repairs things, and which will become Gyro's workshop later.

and "The
Dream of a Lifetime".

| Jake
McDuck |
Created by Barks in 1951 in "A
Christmas for Shacktown", first published in 1952 in "One Shots"
#367, in which he only appears on a photograph and through Donald who disguises
himself into him. Then, Don Rosa uses him in his Duck
Family Tree and his Lo$.
He lives together with his brother, is very stingy, and doesn't seem to
have a wife. He isn't seen after 1896, but I don't think he died around
this date because Scrooge thinks he is still alive in 1952. He also appeared
in Don Rosa's illustration
for "A Christmas for Shacktown" from "Picsou Magazine" #347, 2001.
|
| Nicodemus
McDuck |
In"McDucks
Castle", first published in 1988 in "Topolino" #1712, Scrooge visits
the castle of his farcer uncle Nikodemus von Anka (Danish name) and has
to find a hidden key in the castle. Nikodemus has died and is only seen
in US' thoughts and on a painting. In the same story, we can see pictures
of other relatives, called in Danish Lancelot von Anka, Amos von Anka,
and Petranka von Anka.

| Angus "Pothole"
McDuck |
This uncle of Scrooge, the other brother of Fergus, first
appeared by name, called Pothole McDuck in the 1955's Barks' "The
Great Steamboat Race", first published in "Uncle Scrooge" #11.
Then, Don Rosa renamed him Angus (Pothole sounds more like a nickname),
and he appeared in his Duck Family Tree,
in "Lo$
2 : The Master of the Mississippi", in which young Scrooge works
for him on his riverboat, in "Lo$
6b : The Vigilante of Pizen Bluff", and in cameo in "The
Recluse of McDuck Manor".
|
| "Adventurer"
McDuck |
In the 1978 story "Gold
Rush", by Carsten Jacobsen and Luciano Gatto, first published in
"Almanacco Topolino" 263, an uncle of Scrooge, called "Adventurer McDuck"
in the Greek version and "Ted Pic" in France, appears in a flash back when
Scrooge talks about him. He left Duckburg on 1847 to search for gold in
Alaska and Arctica.He found oil but didn't have the means to drill it.
He returned to Duckburg on 1897 poorer that when he had left. He was very
old but searched for the means to return to Alaska. He told his tale to
the five-year old Scrooge and then died leaving him his possesion of a
territory. Note that the dates in this story don't fit with Barks' and
Don Rosa's stories universe.

| Donald
McDuck |
In the 1980 story "Lo
zio di zio Paperone", by Bruno Concina and Giancarlo Gatti, first
published in "Almanacco Topolino" #285, there appears Uncle Scrooge's
uncle. In Italian, he is called Paperino de'Paperoni, and "Paperino" is
the Italian name for Donald (Donald was named after him). He had even more
money than Scrooge, but he retired in hermitage in the Himalaya, anyway
keeping the desire to swim in something "rustling": formerly, money, like
Scrooge, and now simply dry leaves.

| Picaljean | In "Il mistero dei candelabri ", by Giovan Battista Carpi, first published in "Topolino" #1743, from 1989, a parody of Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables", which takes place in 1815, he is told to be Scrooge's ancestor, called Picaljean in French (a contraction between Picsou, Scrooge's French name, and Jean Valjan, "Les Misérables"' main character). He also appeared on some covers illustrations for this story. |
| Cousin Mathilde | In "Bananas", from 1988, by Daniel Branca, first published in "Donald Duck Extra" #1988-12, from the Netherlands, Grandma finds at Scrooge's a postcard from their cousin Mathilde, from whom they have no news since she disappeared in the Jungle of Bandango with her grand-parents exactly 60 years ago. They decide to go there and look for her, and they find her in a village in which she had decided to stay for the rest of her life. We can also see her on the cover for this story by Ed van Schuijlenburg. |
| Dorian
Duck |
In an untitled story by Jack Bradbury, first published in "Donald Duck" #30, from 1953, Donald shows to the nephews a family album, with photographs of adventurer ancestors, and comments on it. He is one of the ancestors, who fought indians, and is said to be Scrooge's fourteenth cousin in the French version, and his grandmother's uncle's half-cousin in Danish, and he's called Dorian Duck in German. His only other appearance was in Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree. |
| Darius | Daisy's great-uncle Darius appears in Pat McGreal and
Vicar's "Gaze
Into My Crystal Ball" , from 1997, first published in the Swedish
"Kalle Anka & C:o" # 1997-04.
1 |
| Clementina | In Átila de Carvalho's
"Segredos
da Família Pato: A concha de ouro", from 1992, first published
in the Brazilian "Margarida" #165, Daisy finds manuscripts of her great-aunt
Clementina inside an old piano, thanks to Donald who broke it trying to
move it. Those manuscripts, hidden in sheet music, tells when Scrooge's
great-uncle Pat La Tinhas had to run away from the men of Rockerduck's
grandfather Pat Von Concius and then left with Daisy's great-aunt a golden
ladle made with all gold he prospected. He never returned to her, and Daisy
then finds the ladle in her own basement disguised with a coat of paint.
But she also finds out that the ladle belongs to uncle Scrooge, who takes
it. In the end, Daisy promises in her diary to search another "family secrets",
so the writer apparently intended to make more stories with this character,
but it never occurred.
1 |
| Stonewall Duck | In Barks' "The
Village Blacksmith", from 1960, first published in "Walt Disney's Comics
and Stories" #239, we can see the statue of General Stonewall Duck,
leader of a battle which saved Duckburg 100 years before the story takes
place (the Duckburgians are celebrating their city's 100 years of peace).
Though, it's not told whether he was an ancestor of Donald or not, but
we could imagine he was. His name has been inspired by Stonewall Jackson,
a famous general for the South in the American Civil War.
1 |
| Magneto | In the issue of "Le
Journal de Mickey" # 807, from 1967, in the story "Donald l'emporte"
(I don't know the original version), we can see on a frame Donald's great-uncle
, called Magneto in French.
1 |
| Uncle Medard | This uncle of Donald (probably his great-uncle, actually)
appeared in Paul Halas, Jack Sutter and Vicar's "Scratchpot",
from 1988, first published in the Swedish "Kalle Anka & C:o" #185-29.
In this story, this character, whom Donald hadn't seen for about 20 years,
arrives from his village, called "Trifouillis" in French, and asks Donald
to take care of his horse whie he is visitting the city. Médard
is his French name.

| Humperdink "Dabney"
Duck |
First, in an
untitled story from the Dell giant "Vacation Parade" #2 , from 1951,
by Bill Wright, Grandma's deceased husband appears in a thought bubble,
called Humperdink. Then, in Tony Strobl and Steve Steere 's "The
Good Old Daze", first published in "Donald Duck" #93, from 1964,
an unnamed bearded Grandpa Duck appears in flash-back when Donald remembers
about his youth at the farm. Then, in Don Rosa's "Lo$
11 : The Empire-Builder from Calisota", "The
Sign of the Triple Distelfink" and in his Duck
Family Tree, Don Rosa created a new appearance for this character,
but he kept the name Humperdink Duck (sometimes, he is also named Dabney
Duck).
|
| Elvira "Elviry" Abigail
Coot a.k.a. "Grandma Duck" |
Donald's Grandma first appeared in Taliaferro's strips,
first in 1940, in a picture on Donald's wall, and then in person in 1943.
Taliaferro has been inspired by his mother-in-law Donnie M. Wheaton
(among other things, she lived in a farm and had the same hair-bun, and
she stayed with the Taliaferros during the birth of their first child,
and at that time Grandma first appeared in the strip). She is a widow.
She lives and works in a farm with Gus Goose who "helps" her, and with
all her beloved animals. Her name has bee, first revealed in an
untitled 1950 story by Riley Thomson, first published in "Walt Disney's
Comics and Stories" #121, which were "Elviry" (actually, it ids possible
that the name appeared earlier in Taliaferro's strips). The name appeared
in some other WDC stories, and the name Elvira somehow became her common
name amond the Italian story men. Don Rosa chose the name Elvira, thinking
Elviry was a rural pronunciation for this name, in his Duck
Family Tree (this name later appeared in Don Rosa's "Lo$
11 : The Empire-Builder from Calisota", when Scrooge first meets
her). Don Rosa also gave her the former name Coot, so she can be Cornelius
Coot's descendant. In a Frank McSavage and Carl Fallberg's untitled
story from 1953, first published in "Walt Disney's Christmas Parade" #5,
in which she becomes a Hollywoodian movie star, she is named Abigail, which
could be her middle name or her scene name. For many years, Disney comics
in several European countries depicted Grandma as Scrooge's sister and
Donald's adopted mother, that's why Don Rosa kind of killed a myth when
he revealed their real relation in his family tree. She made three cartoon
appearances : the TV-show"This Is your Life, Donald Duck" (1960),
and then "Mickey's
Christmas Carol" (cameo, 1983), and "Sport
Goofy in Soccermania" (1987, cameo).

| Patrusco
Pato |
Patrusco Pato, an old grey-haired Duck wearing
a green checked jacket and black bow tie, first appeared in Euclides K.
Miyaura's "Um
amor do passado no presente" ("A Love from the Past in the Present"),
from 1983, first published in the Bazilian "Pateta" #14. He was Grandma's
love when they were young, and now he is rich and lives
in a mansion "in the South", and re-appears in Grandma's life and asks
her to marry him, so she no longer needs to work hard in her farm, but
in the end, after the Beagle Boys try rob the farm, she proves him it's
impossible for her to leave her simple farmer life and then he leaves,
promising to return.
The, he re-appears in "Ti-ti-ti na família Patrusco Pato", from 1985, still by Euclides K. Miyaura's, first published in "Tio Patinhas" #246. In this story, Patrusco invites Grandma to visit his mansion and family, in another attempt to make a proposal. But the problem here, besides Grandma Duck who still doesn't want to leave her simple farmer life, is Patrusco's spoiled sister Pamela who doesn't like Grandma because she isn't rich. But in the end Grandma finds out that Pamela loves their simple foreman and helps them to get together and refuses again Patrusco's proposal after proving that living in a rich mansion isn't for her. His creator more than probably made a reference to / inspired himself from de Mello's Patusco Patusquela (same name, except the for the "r", same love interrest, and similar title), but I think they shouldn't considered as the same character (Patusco had 20 children and a wife, while Patrusco is still a bachelor, and they don't look like eachother). Neither Patrusco should be considered as a distant cousin of the Ducks the name Pato, which means Duck, but in Brazil many ducks who appeared in a story got the surname/designation "Pato", no matter they were or not relatives of Donald Duck, called "Pato Donald" in Brazil, which simply means "The duck named Donald" and not "Donald from the Duck Family. Actually, just in the last few years the Brazilian editors and translators start worrying about those translation's incongruences. |
| Pamela
Pato |
She is Patrusco Pato's spoiled
sister from "Ti-ti-ti
na família Patrusco Pato", from 1985, still by Euclides
K. Miyaura's, first published in "Tio Patinhas" #246. She doesn't like
Grandma because she isn't rich, but then Grandma finds out that Pamela
loves their simple foreman and helps them to get together.
1 |
| Pamela's boyfriend | In "Ti-ti-ti
na família Patrusco Pato", from 1985, still by Euclides
K. Miyaura's, first published in "Tio Patinhas" #246, he is Pamela's boyfriend
who has problems to date her because he is just her family's foreman, but
Grandma helps them to get together.

| Patusco
Patusquela |
Patusco Patusquela, an old duck wearing a long white
beard and a cane, appeared in Verci de Mello's "Um
amor do passado" ("A Love from the Past"), from 1985, first published
in the Brazilian "O Pato Donald" #1732, in which he is said to have been
Grandma Duck's love from the past. In this story, his identical twin brother
named Chatusco, who was unknown to Grandma Duck, re-appears 50 years later
and tricks her saying he is her old boyfriend from the past just to try
to marry her. Huey, Dewey and Louie suspect something is wrong and later
uncover his plot calling the real Patusco, who happens to be already married
with 20 children...

Patusquela |
Patusco Patusquela's evil twin brother from Verci de

Pato Donald" #1732, who tries to make Grandma believe he is the real
Patusco and to marry her.

| Casey
Coot |
He first appears in 1987, in "Last
Sled to Dawson", by Don Rosa, where Scrooge meets him during Gold
Rush, and in which he sells the deed of Killmule Hill and Fort Duckburg
to him, and he later has been reused in Don Rosa's Don
Rosa's Duck Family Tree, in which he is Grandma's brother. He also
made quick appearances in "Lo$
8 : King of the Klondike" and "Lo$
8b : Hearts of the Yukon".
|
| Gretchen
Grebe |
She is Casey's wife, in Don Rosa's
Duck Family Tree. She hasn't been used in a story since.
She looks more like a chicken, so she could be the link between the Gearlooses
and the Ducks.

| Luke's father | Luke Goose's Father is shown in Mark Worden's Duck Family Tree, but this character was originally an unnamed goose in Barks' "Jet Witch", from "Walt Disney's Comics and Stories" #254, from 1961. |
| Ratchet
Gearloose |
Gyro's grandpa, created by Barks in "Fantastic
River Race", first published in 1957 in "Uncle Scrooge Goes to
Disneyland", he has been re-used by Don Rosa in "Lo$
2 : The Master of the Mississippi", from 1992, which takes place
before the first one. In these stories, he works with Scrooge on a Mississippi
riverboat, the Billy Dollar, from 1880 to 1882, after having been a seller
of water cleansing pills in Louisville, Kenyucky. Then, it is told that
he started a bakery. Then Don Rosa used him again in "Lo$
3b : The Cowboy Captain of the Cutty Sark", in which he searched
for energy sources more safe than steam, like volcano's heat, near Java.
Together with Scrooge he faced the explosion on Krakatoa. He probably married
and moved to Duckburg where his son Fulton appeared as one of the very
first members of The Junior Woodchucks in 1902. He made cameo appearances
in Don Rosa's "Gyro's
First Invention" (on a portrait in a frame), and "The
Dream of a Lifetime" (in Scrooge's dreams of when he was younger).
In "Flipsy Tootle", by Tony Strobl and Steve Steere, from 1965, first published in "Almanacco Topolino" #108, we can see several photographs of a "Grandpa Gearloose", who could be the same character. We can also hear about a Gyro's grandpa in the videogame "Quack Attack" (2000), in which he is said to have invented the "Gyro-Tubal-Teleport", a teleport machine. |
| Prof
Pardalto |
In the 1982 story "História de Patópolis: O século das luzes", by Ivan Saidenberg, Irineu Soares Rodrigues, and Verci de Mello, first published in the Brazilian "Almanaque Disney" #136, we can meet another grandpa of Gyro, called Prof. Pardalto in Brazilian (in French, it's Eurêka Trouvetou), who is fat and has a big black beard. The same character also appeared in "Nos tempos do avião a lenha", from 1983, published in "O Pato Donald" #1646, by the same authors. He could be Gyro's mother's father. |
V (àtop)
| John
Rockerduck |
In the 1981 story "Zio
Paperone e l'oro di California", by Guido Martina and Francisco
Bargadà Studio, first published in "Almanacco Topolino" #299, Scrooge
tells the story of his Grandfather "Wasteful"Scrooge McDuck,called this
because he walked a lot and wasted his soles. He was already an old man
living in Scotland when he read about the Californian Gold Rush of 1848.He
and his nephews (Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie look-alikes) left for San
Fransisco piling potatos in a ship. When they got there the captain and
owner of the ship abandoned it to become a gold-miner and left it to Scrooge.Scrooge
sold the metal of the ship to miners who wanted to use it to make houses.
He earned enough money to buy the only Hotel left in San Fransisco without
being abandoned, fire his manager John Rockerduck (John D.Rockerduck's
grandfather) and earned enough money for about a year. He rented the same
room to 8 customers for 2 dollars each. Scrooge can only have one McDuck
grandfather, so I chose to not consider this character, neither did I keep
Donald, Huey, Dewey and Louie's look-alikes)

| Pat
Von Concius |
In Átila de Carvalho's
"Segredos
da Família Pato: A concha de ouro", from 1992, first published
in the Brazilian "Margarida" #165, Scrooge's great-uncle Pat La Tinhas
had to run away from his men and then left with Daisy's great-aunt Clementina
a golden ladle made with all gold he prospected. He never returned to her,
and Daisy then finds the ladle in her own basement disguised with a coat
of paint. But she also finds out that the ladle belongs to uncle Scrooge,
who eventually takes it.

| Edgar
de l'Ortolan |
In "Spookhotel",
by Hans van Oudenaarden and Frank Jonker, from 1996, first published in
"Donald Duck" #1996-41, Scrooge inherits an hotel from his great-great-uncle-in-law
Ignace de l'Ortolan, whom he even didn't know about. But Ignace's real
nephew, Edgar, whom Ignace didn't like, wants to scare Scrooge and his
family so that he leaves the hotel, and make them think it's haunted.

| "Dirty" Dingus
Titus McDuck |
In "The Search for Cyril", from "Donald Duck" # 70, from 1960 Bob Gregory and Tony Strobl already gave a grandpa to Scrooge : Titus McDuck. He was a Scottish miner. In Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree and in his unpublished sketches for "Lo$ 1 : The Last of The Clan McDuck" appears a "Dirty" Dingus McDuck, apparently also a Scottish miner. Don Rosa has more than probably been inspired by Strobl's character, and another striking detail is that the Swedish translators decided to keep the name "Titus Von Anka " for Dingus' translation. |
| Quagmire
McDuck |
In Barks'"Heirloom Watch", from 1954, first published in "Uncle Scrooge" #10, he appears by name and Scrooge's great-uncle. Then, in his Duck Family Tree, Don Rosa made him be Dingus' brother and gave him a portrait. |
| Admiral Douglas
McDuck |
In Luciano Bottaro's 1961 story "Paperino
e il calumet della pace", first published in "Topolino" #290, there
is in the first panel the statue of an ancestor of Scrooge McDuck who is
called, in the Greek translation,"Admiral Douglas McDuck". The statue is
placed in Scrooge's personal museum by furniture of King Louis XVI of France
reign (1774-1793). In the same story, Scrooge'cousin Victor McDuck also
appears. This is his name in the Greel translation. His Italian name is
Sargasso de'Paperoni.
1 |
| Vermund
McWildduck |
In "Nuts
on the Family Tree", by Guardia, first published in the German
"Donald Duck" #251 in 1983, we can see several ancestors of Scrooge. One
of them is called "Vermund von Vildand" in Danish, which could be
translated Vermund McWildduck. He was a general at the time Scrooge was
going to school.

| Patatinhas | In Irineu Soares Rodrigues and Arthur Faria Jr.'s "A
escuna do Capitão Patatinhas", from 1984, first published
in the Brazilian "Peninha" #47, Scrooge cites his uncle Captain Patatinhas,
who was a great explorer and sea captain whose sailing ship got stuck somewhere
in the North Pole's ice in the beginning of the 20th century (exact date
unknown). Patatinhas and his crew survived but never proved they had reached
the Pole. Now Scrooge is his only heir but to get the inheritance he has
to find the old ship and bring back to the lawers some object from it in
order to prove they have found the ship in the North Pole.

Clementina inside an old piano, thanks to Donald who broke it trying to

great-uncle Pat La Tinhas had to run away from the men of Rockerduck's
grandfather Pat Von Concius and then left with Daisy's great-aunt a golden

In "The

science, and the name of Flintheart Glomgold's grandpa, Stoneheart Glomgold,
is mentionned.
1 |
| Pokerface
McDuck |
In Jack Bradbury and Carl Fallberg's untitled story first published in 1953 in "Donald Duck" #53, this deceased relative of Donald and Gladstone appears in a frame. Donald and Gladstone are his heirs.Donald gets a framed portrait of Pokerface McDuck (hence the possibility of including his picture in modern reconstructed family trees), and Gladstone gets a grandfather clock. Concealed in the frame of the portrait is a map to the lost Pokerface mine. After a desert adventure with Donald and the boys searching in vain for the mine near a town called Parched Springs, but finding the loot from a bank robbery instead, they return to Duckburg to find out that Gladstone's clock had also contained concealed papers. These papers were the deeds to some property in Parched Springs. On the first page of the same story, Donald points his name out on the family tree with the remark: "Here he is... way out on this limb!" The tree looks like a tree with no leaves and just a few branches. The tree is drawn on a roller blind. There is no specification of Pokerface's relation to the other ducks, but he ought to be a remote relative, judging from Donald's remark as cited above. His only other appearance was in Volker Reiche's Duck Family Tree. |
| "Great-grandpa"
Donald Duck |
In "Paperino
eroe di Duckburg", from 1968, by Osvaldo Pavese, Romano Scarpa

ancestor of Donald Duck, carrying the same name than him, and referred
to by Donald as "Bisnonno Paperino" (Great-grandfather Donald). He is the
nephew of a Scrooge, and cousin of a Gus, and he has an unnamed love interrest,
which is Daisy's look-alike.

| Manuel "Neco"
Gearloose |
In "A
repórter do tempo", by Arthur Faria Jr. and Irineu Soares
Rodrigues, first published in 1989 in the Brazilian "Margarida" #88, Daisy
time-travels to the year 1889 to interview Gyro's great-grandfather Neco
Pardal, since Gyro claimed that he invented the automobile at the same
time as Carl Benz (Daisy also needs to find out who was the unknown founder
of Duckburg's Women Association in the same year). But Daisy discovers
that, while Benz invented the vehicle with internal-combustion engine,
Gyro's great-grandfather had actually invented a car with an "external-combustion"
engine, which was a complete failure since there's no brake capable of
stopping a car driven by such engine. Arthur Faria Jr. told that he was
an old man in 1889, probably 60. "Neco" is a short for "Maneco", which
is a nickname for "Manoel", which is the Portuguese name for "Manuel" So
the real name of Neco Pardal is actually Manoel Pardal (or Manuel Gearloose).

| Ignace
de l'Ortolan |
In "Spookhotel",
by Hans van Oudenaarden and Frank Jonker, from 1996, first published in

| "Wasteful"
Scrooge McDuck |
In the 1981 story "Zio
Paperone e l'oro di California", by Guido Martina and Francisco
Bargadà Studio, first published in "Almanacco Topolino" #299, Scrooge
tells the story of his Grandfather "Wasteful"Scrooge McDuck,called this
because he walked a lot and wasted his soles. He was already an old man
living in Scotland when he read about the Californian Gold Rush of 1848.He
and his nephews (Donald, Huey, Dewey, and Louie look-alikes) left for San
Fransisco piling potatos in a ship. When they got there the captain and
owner of the ship abandoned it to become a gold-miner and left it to Scrooge.
Scrooge sold the metal of the ship to miners who wanted to use it to make
houses. He earned enough money to buy the only Hotel left in San Fransisco
without being abandoned, fire his manager John Rockerduck (John D.Rockerduck's
grandfather) and earned enough money for about a year. He rented the same
room to 8 customers for 2 dollars each. Scrooge already has a McDuck grandfather,
so Wasteful could be his grea-grandpa.

a pioneer, as Grandpa Duck is. So he could be her husband.

Founder of Duckburg, created by Barks in "Statuesque

In his family tree, Don Rosa shows that he is Donald's great-great-grandpa.
In Disneyland, Florida, there is a real statue of him, but it's called
Cornelius Cornhoot, not Coot, so maybe Cornhoot is a nickname, or maybe
coot is a contraction of cornhoot.
