Rosa Index & genealogy questions

Well, I'm now somewhere in the June letters....

There was a question about the Dutch publisher redrawing Don's Family Tree
(I was fortunate enough to be in Germany last summer when it was published
as part of the 60th birthday celebration).  Sidestepping that discussion,
I wonder if there is a listing for Don Rosa's work outside of the normal 
comic book stories and covers.  

I suppose there should be one, since there is the family tree in at least
two different versions (and probably more, considering the problem of
Grandma Duck), and the future release of a Rosa litho(?)graph.  

Also, is there an index for non-Disney stories done by Rosa?  

And while we are on the subject of genes...  Last March, a friend returned
from Iceland with three Disney comics (one of which had the first part of
the "Universal Solvent" story).  I wonder, since the Icelanders use the
father's first name as part of the child's last name, do the Ducks use the
same method?  If so, what is Donald's last name?  (According to the German
family tree, his father is unknown.  What that makes Donald, I don't want
to know.)  Do the Iceland Disneys sidestep this by not using last names?

(BTW, I can't read Icelandic, but I could figure out the story from the
pictures, so Don is doing something right.)
