When randomly searching things, saw a bunch of references today to a "cousin Fred" or "Fred Duck". INDUCKS gives me nothing though, and neither does google. Anyone know anything?

Not much. The Duck Family Tree in the 2001 "Little Big Book of Disney", by Monique Peterson, includes him as Daisy's probable brother and April, May and June's father. ("probable" because the line that links the two is in dots, not bold).

Ah, I have found something that says that a story coded H 65125 has this character said to be Daisy's brother and Donald's cousin. Not sure how trustworthy it is, though.
Fred is a bit of an enigma—he was apparently intended by Milton as Fethry until management wouldn't let Fethry be used, so a new character was hastily created; it's easy to imagine Fethry in an expanded version of the role...
EDIT: Managed to read the English version of the story- Daisy doesn't even appear! So where's this "she's Fred's sister" shpiel from- Monique Peterson's book?
