In the thread about Ludwig von Drake, the user LP made a small Duck family tree based on the cartoons. Inspired by him, i made an extended family tree using only relatives from the classic shorts, old animated shows and animated movies, since i believe almost all animated features are set in the same universe

Well, let's explain why i put the characters where i put them
Huey, Dewey and Louie are Dumbella's sons and Donald's nephews, so there is no secret here.
Ludwig von Drake was stated to be Donald's father's brother. Besides that, a radio show stated that Donald was born as Donald (von) Drake, but started to use his mother's maiden name after his father left them (pretty sad story, huh?). Like LP said, Scrooge could not be Donald's uncle, since his father was a (von) Drake and his mother was a duck. LP made Scrooge the brother of Donald's paternal grandma, but i decided to make him the brother of his maternal grandma (Grandma Duck), because i thought the fact Scrooge is Ludwig's uncle a bit disturbing...
Well, Mother Goose (Ludwig's grandma and Donald's great-grandma) was a...goose, so i just made Gus Donald's distant cousin on her side. Gertie, HDL's aunt from Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas. Because of her appearance, i put her on the Goose side too.
Gladstone Gander appears in Ducktales, not much surprise here. Mel Mallard is a cousin of Donald from Quack Pack. He is not a well-know character, and his only appearance beyond Quack Pack was in Gilles Maurice's family tree.
Moby Duck from Pacifically Peaking is said to be a cousin of Donald. Because of his age, i made him his first cousin once removed.
Seafoam McDuck, Scrooge's ancestor, is mentioned in Ducktales. In the french dub, he is Scrooge's grandfather, so i followed this idea because i did not wanted to have an empty place.
In the cartoon Donald gets Drafted, Donald mentions his father, uncle and cousin who were pilots. Since Donald does not have any uncle and cousin who could fit in this statement, i had to made new ones, and because they were mentioned along Mr. (von) Drake, i belive they are in the paternal side.
I think this tree is complete. You guys can see LP's version here featherysociety.proboards.com/thread/371/ludwig-von-drake?page=10
