This is a stellar find! It's a shame that there's no info on Mandie, but I think that these ancestor finds more than make up for that! I think it's worth adding the ancestors to future iterations of the tree for sure
These are some excellent finds!
The names that appear are:
•Sheikh Manni El Mousri. •Florence Micingale. •Mather and May Mousesmith. •Daniel Toon. •Milo Mouse and Mabeline VanMouse. •Milieus and Maris O’Mouse (the website doesn’t mention it, but I managed to read their children’s names, they are Mikey, Marcus and Manna). •Mathilda Mousebjörg and Merik Mouström. •Merry and Marley Mousill. •Princess Marie DuMouse.
About the names of Mather and May Mousesmith's children, I couldn't read their names, this is the only more "readable" image I found, but a good part of the text I could understand. "Mather & May Mousesmith celebrating their first micegiving with their boys Morr.. and M.y...rd"
Good work! The boys' names in the photo are Morris and Maynard

This story does, in its original form, though it hasn't yet been published in English to my knowledge.
I wonder why you are using web links (starting with "https://coa.inducks.org") that have ceased to exist for more than 10 years. Are those URLs generated by the forum or something?
Can you tell me if the three mouses that appear in W WDC 172-03 are Mickey, Morty and Ferdie? Some sites report that they could be Mickey's other three nephews.

There are other possible ancestors of Mickey in this story D 95017, I couldn't find any website to access it, by any chance you might have some kind of access to it, the only image available is not in good quality.

Had a quick look myself - sadly, also unable to find it. I'll have a more thorough look later today to see if I can manage anything. The Finnish 'Aku Ankka' website has it, along with a few others I'd love to read, but subscriptions to the service can't be bought outside of Finland/without a Finnish address It's a shame, because I'd be more than willing to pay for the subscription if it was available. Curse distribution rights

About the comic by D 95041, I can access it (it was in the Greek language), Mickey receives a visit from his descendant from 7000 AD, Meteor Mouse.

I only found this information about Mandie Mouse:
•Mandie Mouse was a recurring character early on. •She is a naughty mischievous lady. •She is the younger sister of Minnie Mouse. •Her portrait is shown in Minnie's Country House in the Magic Kingdom.
And there are also these portraits here, without any information about who they are, but I believe it is Minnie Mouse with her parents.

The issue regarding Mandie is that none of this information is actually verifiable, in my (admittedly brief) searching.
Supposedly her portrait is shown, but is the only one that we've been unable to verify.
Supposedly she was a recurring character early on, but there's no trace of her online. No wiki pages (Even though there are plenty of lesser characters that have them) and no INDUCKS page, despite INDUCKS having pages for characters with as few as two minor appearances.
That's not to say the information is wrong, but I don't think it's right to accept it without some valid form of verification. If she has a portrait in Minnie's Country House, we'd need a picture of it. If she was a 'recurring character early on', we'd need a source on any of these early appearances.
The issue with Disney trivia like this is that the internet is rife with speculation, fan assumptions and fanon passed off as fact. I don't think we have anything valid to go on for Mandie until we get some actual evidence for these claims - they appear on multiple sites, but none of them have sources

I will have to find the time to check, but I own the Danish copy of this pocket story, and if I recall correct, several ancestors appear.

In D 95017 we hear about the following relatives:
A wealthy uncle (da: Mouritz) in 1832
Mickey mentions him as just "uncle" but since he lived in 1832 they are obviously more generations apart.
A female relative in 1915 which is a niece to Mouritz (da: Molly), and her unnamed mother
And a hippie relative in 1969 (da: named Månelys ("Moonlight"))
Re: Meteor Mouse: we don't hear much about him in his brief appearance in this story, but in the next story (D 95041), he is said to come from the "3rd Galaxy", and is explicitly mentioned as being a descendant to MM.
Can you tell me if the three mouses that appear in W WDC 172-03 are Mickey, Morty and Ferdie? Some sites report that they could be Mickey's other three nephews.
They're absolutely Mickey, Morty, and Ferdie. I'm not sure which sites you're looking at, but it sounds like they're simply reporting fanon, or continuity the way they wish it were (in all honesty, borderline conspiracy theory).
There was a large fansite many years ago that invented its own relationship connections between characters, and invented English names for characters who hadn't appeared in English at the time, presenting them more-or-less as canon. When I asked the site owner why he did it, he said "I think it's cute to imagine how things could be," but the site looked so authoritative that even some Disney staffers mistakenly thought its "facts" were all legit...

I have another question, and I was wondering if you could answer it for me. The site also mentions other supposed nephews of Mickey: Monty, Morrie, Marmaduke, Timmy, Billy, Freddy, Huey, Georgie, Dewey, Louie, Tommy, Ronnie and Lonnie.
So my doubt is: • Officially, at some point were these names used to refer to Mickey's supposed nephews? • But if it's just the names of the orphans, were the names actually ever officially used to refer to the orphans?
I know that site and usually like it—though it does incorporate some speculation. I can't imagine where they got the idea that that old W-coded story featured "three" of Mickey's nephews; the image plainly makes one of the mice larger—we're clearly seeing MM and MF.

In your list, everyone from "Timmy" onward are the names of the Orphans as spoken by Mickey and/or named on table cards in the cartoon PLUTO'S PARTY—though the list has two mistakes: "Tommy" is there in error (name never given) and "Jerry" is missing (name given on a table card).
Morrie, Monty, Maisie (missing from your list), and Marmaduke are the names of more of the Orphans om GULLIVER MICKEY, according to either the presskit or a storybook adaptation (unsure which at the moment; the book _Mickey Mouse: His Life and Times_ may confirm, but I'm not physically near my copy).
There's a little bit of fuzziness insofar as inside the Disney animation department in the old days, the Orphans were interchangeably referred to as "nephews"; they call Mickey "uncle" in their earliest appearances; and while they were eventually distinguished from MF in books and other consumer products, there may have been some early presskits, etc. that confused them as well. So there could be documentation calling some of the above-listed characters Mickey's nephews. I don't think they're really biological relatives—it seems more like an "honorary uncle" type of relation. (In ORPHANS' PICNIC, the Orphans call Donald uncle, too... and it seems rather unlikely they're related to him!)
