I assume you're aware of the "big ones" like Intellectual-176, Supersensitive-666, "Grandpa" Blackheart Beagle, Ma Beagle or Bankjob Beagle… so I'll list a few more obscure ones (I'll be back later with more, this is just the first few):
Cousin Tic-Tac-Toe, a.k.a. TTT, cartography expert, whom the Duckburg Beagles consider their "cousin". (Debuted in Vic Lockman and Pete Alvarado, The Fountain of Youth.)
Cousin Countdown, an explosives expert, also a cousin of the Duckburg Beagle Boys (Vic Lockman and Pete Alvarado, The Fountain of Strength)
Uncle 001, a.k.a. the Bin-Buster, uncle of the main three Duckburg Beagles and far more competent than them. (First appeared in the Vic Lockman/Tony Strobl story Uncle 001)
Cousin 000, a cousin of the main three Duckburg Beagles who went straight and lives in the countryside. (First appeared in the Italian story by Nino Russo and Luca Bonardi, Phantom Duck and the Redeemed Beagle.
Straight Aunt Annie, aunt of the main Duckburg Beagles who lives a honest life and lives in the countryside. If I were you I'd make her Cousin 000's mother, it fits! (First seen in the Pete Alvarado-drawn The Bubble Gum Bandits
Uncle Whitebeard Beagle, the Duckburg Beagle Boys' pirate uncle. (Seen in the 1983 Brazilian story Bumbling Buccaneers.)
Betsy Beagle, the main three Duckburg Beagle Boys' sister. As tough a criminal as them, but has now gone straight and become a prison warden. She is the mother of one of the Beagle Brats (indicating the Beagle Brats aren't actually siblings, interestingly enough). (First seen in the McGreals' Sisters in Crime.)
Third-Millenium 3000: The Duckburg Beagles' lazy cousin who became a hippie (mostly because it gives him an excuse to never work) and would like his brothers to quit crime. (First seen in the Brazilian story written by Ivan Saidenberg and drawn by Carlos Edgard Herrero, Peace, Love and Beagle Boys.)
Betsy Beagle, the main three Duckburg Beagle Boys' sister. As tough a criminal as them, but has now gone straight and become a prison warden. She is the mother of one of the Beagle Brats (indicating the Beagle Brats aren't actually siblings, interestingly enough). (First seen in the McGreals' Sisters in Crime.)
I'm looking at the McGreals' story now. It doesn't say anything about Annie being mom to one of the Beagle Brats (as it is, when we start the story she's just left jail after an uninterrupted twenty-year stay, so it's hard to know when she'd have even been able to conceive the Brats, who look around ten!).
Also, not a very flattering image of her, is it? (She's tough and rowdy to the point of being overimpulsive, and only cries as a scheme to gain others' pity, but you wouldn't know it from this.)

The picture was the one used on Picsou Wiki. At least, if anyone got any misconceptions about her character, my quick summary of who she is clears it up ("as tough a criminal as her brothers", said I).
As to the Beagle Brat factoid: that is very peculiar. I do know no Beagle Brat was mentioned or seen in the story, but the aforementioned Picsou Wiki page mentions that fact unequivocally, and I assumed it was featured in a later story featuring Betsy. As I now realize no such story exists, I wonder where that info on PW came from, and whether to remove it…
That's the problem with wikia pages. Ask me sometime about when I noticed the Fethry Duck page in the Disney Wiki had been filled with facts and opinions on the 2016 US Presidential Election.
Anyway if you're mentioning BR stories, 1313 and the Big Beagle (or however you want to translate it, Godbeagle? Beaglefather? He's a Corleone parody) are two that immediately come to mind, as do the stories about old viking versions of the Beagles.
The Beagle boy also have a sister named Beulah Beagle
Also, Grandpa Beagle's brothers appear in a flashback story about Scrooge's first money Bin (a treehouse), where they form a team with Grandpa Beagle similar to the Beagle Brats.

What's the Beulah Beagle story, please?
Gah, I always think it's so bizarre when child-Scrooge is drawn with sideburns (and/or pince-nez). I understand that they do it because a young sideburn-less duck wouldn't have any visual connection with Scrooge, but I still think it's freakish.

Here's a few more images of Betsy from the story in which she appears (its Russian translation, to be precise), that are more representative of her character :

That's pretty damn interesting! Also interesting is that Young Scrooge's design here is very clearly based on Tony Strobl and Carl Barks's Young Scrooge design from Chairman of the Bored and The Invisible Intruder: note the cap! I like that.
Also, is that story imaginably reconciliable with Life and Times? I mean, it'll never be a perfect fit, because it certainly didn't look like Rosa's Blackheart had grown up in Scotland, but for instance, I'd like to know if the setting of those flashbacks is explicitly Duckburg or if it could be Glasgow/Cheapside.
Thanks, all! Here's the tree so far: familyecho.com/?p=START&c=4ozc21smcj&f=665176630774159696. I haven't included any of the original DuckTales Beagles, (except for Ma Beagle, because I wasn't sure who else to put for the Beagle Boys' mother), because I don't consider the original DuckTales canon to the comics (I like it a lot, and I consider most things canon to the comics, but it just doesn't seem to fit in). Anyway, it otherwise includes most of the Beagles that I could find, but I'll probably update it with more soon. Also, if you click on the biographical tab on each character, it shows where they first appeared and other info about them.
