Scrooge McDuck is considered to be a reincarnation of his ancestor 
Malcolm"Matey"McDuck due to a story by Barks who confirms there are 
reincarnations in the Duck Universe.But there is story that contradicts 
it.This story is "King Scrooge the First" by Carl Barks and Tony Strobl 
edited on 1967.In this story King Khan Khan(2050 BC-1967 AD) an immortal 
forces Scrooge McDuck to drink a magic potion which returns his "Genetic 
Memory" to the year 2033 BC,to a point in the life of his ancestor King 
Scrooge Sah I of Sagbad.According to this story the Ducks are carrying their 
ancestors' memories in their genetic memory.Khan Khan already mentions that 
Scrooge McDuck is "almost a reincarnation of Scrooge Sah".The hypnotist in 
the other story could have returned Scrooge's genetic memory to 1564,to a 
point in the life of his ancestor Malcolm"Matey"McDuck.That does not mean 
Scrooge is a reincarnation of this ancestor.So Scrooge's and Malcolm's soul 
meeting is not a mistake.By the way Scrooge's soul is already in McDucks' 
heaven since 1967 according to Don Rosa.Are the genetic memories he carried 
on lost or did he had a descendant?I like Gilles idea that Dickie Duck is 
Scrooge's granddaughter.Makes as think his legacy survived him.
