Disney duck family tree

Posted by Mark Frauenfelder, February 2, 2009 10:33 AM | permalink

As an admirer of Carl Barks' delightful Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comic books, I thought I knew a lot about the Disney duck family. It turns out (as usual) I know nothing. Duck Family Tree (via A Welsh View)

Don Rosa made a nice family tree. Also, his stories is not only as great as those of Barks himself, but surpasses them in both ingenuity and drawing skill by far.

I wonder where the University of Oregon's fits. Or is he being denied his rightful heritage?

My mind has been blown, my day has been made.

I'm surprised that the Glomgold branch is so detached from the McDuck family tree. you'd think the Scottish duck families would be extremely intermarried.

@#3 Just drop the ".nyud.net" part from the URL and try again. The original link simply uses the Coral Content Distribution Network in order to be nice to the host.

All that work, and yet they misspell Scrooge McDuck as "Scrooge Duck" Seriously, even Wikipedia knows that Uncle Scrooge was a McDuck.

#10 that's what I thought at first but apparently Scrooge McDuck is actually "$crooge" and the "Scrooge Duck" is some other character

Rosa's tree is a lot easier on the eyes...

Still, Uncle Scrooge has a child? With Goldie? When did that happen?

Has anyone tied the Duck family in with the Wold Newton family?

Whoa, Donald and Daisy had actual kids? When did that happen? I'd also be curious what comics showed the parents of Huey, Dewey and Louie...

I'm pretty sure Della Duck is mentioned by name (though not depicted) in the three nephews' first appearance.
Other than that, maybe all these offspring are from elseworld-type stories...

Wow, I am dazzled. However, it would have been even more dazzling if they had used the standard notation for genograms.
