I'm glad to show you my Duck/McDuck family tree. i disagree with Rosa in many things and i don't even consider his stories canon, so i made my own...
This tree is based in my canon of the Duck universe, which includes Barks' stories, stories illustrated by Tony Strobl and the brazilian Fethry Duck stories. I also took Gus' mother's name from the 30's cartoon.
I'm glad you finally got your tree together, Titus! As you probably know, I disagree with a lot of it, but that's fine since we're not even playing by the same rules.
However, it seems that flat-out ignoring Rosa's contributions to Duck genealogy is counter-productive. Since you refuse to use his names, instead you're left with a bunch of empty spaces. When I made my Duck tree a few weeks ago, I followed primarily Rosa. However, when I found an ancestor from a story by Strobl for example, I used that character, even though I didn't necessarily consider the story it was from canonical. I guess my ultimate goal was to have a character in each slot in the family tree. If that's not your goal, then that's fine. Your way of doing things is fine. However, I doubt you're ever going to find another father of Gus Goose, for example. I'm not super-familiar with either Strobl's work or any Brazilian stories, so unfortunately I don't have much more to say than that.
I guess I could mention that I've never liked the idea that Donald and Daisy are related. And also, I don't know why you've placed Ludwig von Drake as Grandpa Duck's nephew. Finally, Grandma and Grandpa's names being Elvira and Humperdink aren't "Rosa-facts" originally, so maybe you want to use those?

Interesting tree. Like LP, I don't agree with all of it personally, but you did a good job putting it together! Do you not consider Cuthbert to be a descendant of Cornelius Coot? Also, how did you come to the decision to place Fanny as a Coot? I know Barks included Gus Goose's mother as Grandma's daughter in one version of the Duck family tree. Even if you decide to stick with the version that Gus is the nephew of Daphne's husband Luke, it's worth keeping in mind that, in his illustrated version of Barks's family tree, Mark Worden showed Gus as being the son of Luke's sister, in which case Fanny would likely be the name of Luke's sister.
No matter what I say or do, know that Jesus loves you.

Thank you. Actually, i wanted to follow Barks' second family tree, but if i remember correctly, there is a Barks story where its stated Gus is Grandma's nephew, so i decided to go with the first version and i made Gus' father as being Luke's brother and his mother as being Grandma's niece. Also, i do think Cuthbert is Cornelius's descendent, but i didn't thought necessary to go back that much in time. I like Rosa's idea of Grandma being related to Cornelius, so i decided to include both her and her niece Fanny as Coots

Thanks! My problem is not with Rosa's facts, but with non-barksian facts. I wanted to include only Barks-made relatives + Fethry and Dugan because i love them, but i put characters who appeared in stories illustrated by Strobl to make it bigger. As for Ludwig, he was said to be Donald's paternal uncle, which was not possible because of his last name. So i made him Grandpa's nephew, so he could be kind of Donald's uncle.

I was going to ask which Barks story has Gus as Grandma's nephew, but I believe the answer is Donald's Grandma Duck. Could be mistaken, though. Honestly, I wasn't entirely aware of this beforehand. I suppose it does make most sense for Gus to be a nephew or great-nephew (as in both Rosa's and your version) of Grandma.
