Less known Duck family trees

[Deleted]

Recently, i was exploring the internet searching for Donald Duck's relatives that i don't know (i am fascinated with the Duck family) and i came across this strange-looking family tree (see the danish and english versions below)


From what i've read about the article where i found this tree (you can find the article here donaldisme.dk/stamtrae.htm), the creator wanted to fit the informations given by Barks, Taliaferro and Don Rosa into one single tree. It didn't worked well, in my opinion...

This made me think...Do you know other less-known Duck family trees (i mean trees not as famous as Barks', Rosa's and the 1999 "Der Stammbaum der Ducks")

I wouldn't really say there's anything wrong with the tree. I think it's pretty straightforward and simple. With all due respect to its author, it doesn't really feature anything revolutionary or new. I guess that one of the biggest flaws, to me, would be that it claims to combine information from Taliaferro, Barks, and Rosa, but the only major genealogical tidbit from Taliaferro is "Cousin Della", neglecting the plethora of other relatives from strips he illustrated. There's also the argument to be made that, in a way similar to Rosa's tree, it doesn't include all Barks relatives either, neglecting Mehitabel Mudhen and Cuthbert Coot. It doesn't really do anything wrong, but it doesn't reach the fullest potential of its premise.

I agree with Midget Moose.
Also, I'm sure most if not all Duck-fans know of it, but I thought I'd post a link to Gilles Maurice's collection of family trees here for completion's sake.

By the way, the tree that Titus posted confuses me - I mean why is Cousin Della placed in two different places? Couldn't the tree-designer make up his or her mind?

Actually, the truth is that i am searching a specific tree...an italian version of Volker Reiche's tree


But there were differences: The italian version had a lot less characters, and Jake McDuck was named "Cuordipietra Famedoro" (Glomgold's italian name)
I have been searching for this tree since i saw it for the first and last time, about 2 years ago...

@titusmcduck Are you sure there is such a tree? The closest thing I could think of is this 1994 family tree based on an idea by Luca Boschi and drawn by Giovan Battista Carpi:



It has less characters than the version you posted and it does include Jake. However, Jake is NOT named "Cuordipietra Famedoro" here: even though some names are hard to read, I determined that his name is written as "Anacleto Anastasio Anatrone de' Paperoni", which is the name he had in the first Italian translation of "Christmas for Shacktown".

I think the tree is less "my headcanon" so much as "what seems to be based on info from Taliaferro, Barks, and Rosa." There's not enough information from the three to determine whose child this Cousin Della's is, so I think the author just showed us the possibilities and didn't favor one idea over another.

That tree is so confusing. I've seen it before and have tried to decipher how this tree connects everyone, but the whole thing's too tough to read for me. I'm not referring to character names so much as the general structure of the tree. Is Cuthbert Coot supposed to be Gladstone's brother, uncle, father, or something else entirely? Where in the round world does Gus Goose come from? He doesn't seem to be directly connected to anyone. Is Pokerface McDuck Scrooge's grandfather, or some sort of uncle? The whole thing is very confusing to me.

No, no. This is a different tree. The one i'm searching has the same layout of Volker Reiche's one
