This is the second time someone here claims that I mean
the opposite of what I am actually writing. I hope it is
not some kind of dirty trick to make me look silly here?

Anyway what I tried to say in my above statement is that
Matilda my have gone to Europe shortly after the incident
in Scrooge's Money Bin in 1930.

In Europe may have met the Austrian Ludwig von
Drake and later married him. If they married in let's
say 1931 she would be 60 years so there would not be
any children.

She may have died around 1960. If so she would have
died 89 years old (nothing special with that) and
left her (probably younger) husband Ludwig a widower.

I don't know, so I can only guess:
a) Curiosity. He would like to meet the richest man on Earth.
b) In her last day's Matilda may have asked him to do it for
her so that she could die in peace.

Anyway my mother's mother had a brother who went from Norway
to Canada in 1928. He died in 1992 without ever visiting Norway
again. So when he didn't return in 64 years, I say it's
possible that Matilda just didn't return in 30 years
without any hate or bitterness as a reason for it.

And one more thing: I don't try to PROVE anything in this
matter. I just try to show that Don Rosa's idea is as good
as any idea when it comes to Ludwig's background.

Sigvald :-)
