Looking for really obscure McDuck relatives

[drleevezan]

I am looking for really obscure McDuck relatives for a family tree I am creating. Here is a link to the tree so you can see which ones I have already: familyecho.com/?p=START&c=kahdcid220&f=794731939503930074. If I missed any, please let me know!

I… it's nice that you had the same idea as me, is what I'll say… I recommend you peruse my own tree. If you click on the 'Biographical' tab in the little window on the left, you'll also find explanations of where the characters are from and why I placed them where I did on the tree.

Thanks, I already had Gideon, but not Gummo!

This great Guerrini story mentions some McDuck relatives/ancestors but I wouldn't have any idea how to fit them into a family tree:

Ah yes, but those are distant ancestors, are they not? Such people aren't included in trees, usually.

His Italian name is Papirone, and his fanmade American name is Marley McDuck.

No. In his one and only appearance, this character is named Paperon de' Paperoni as his twin brother Uncle Scrooge.

However he also has a nickname "Mani Buche", which happens to be the same as Angus "Pothole" McDuck.

(F. Provenzano reports that this is probably because the writer of this story and translator of Barks' story are the same person: Guido Martina).

Oh, so? Wonder where the misconception that his name was Papiron came from, because I've seen it repeated a lot.

I wonder. The name Paperon De' Paperoni makes sense because at the beginning of the story, Donald and the nephews genuinely believe they will encounter Uncle Scrooge, not his twin brother. Inducks says the dialogue in many reprints (that I don't have access to) has been changed, so maybe this is where the name "Papiron" appears.

Perhaps, though the notes on Inducks seem to say that the alterations were mostly to erase strong language. I mean, it is a bit of a plot-hole that both Scrooge and his twin-brother would have been given the same first name.

Offtopic but exactly this joke appeared in a PKNA episode where the TV soap opera that runs through the series gets a new character (because the actor had been freed from Evronian captivity): the twin brother of the leading guy, and he has the same name...
