I do know where they might have picked up that info: the DCML 
Archives, August 2001, digest #646, message by Don Rosa:

Surprisingly (or rather not :), it was again Gilles who put the question.
After reading the Crusader Kings-story, I think I can figure out to which 
part of the story this 'sisters-sequel' will be linked.
Question to Don Rosa:                                                                          
Will this sequel involve (or have to involve) Matilda's supposed husband 
Ludwig von Drake? I know that you have already used him in at least 
two of your stories, in a cameo, as living in Duckburg. I suppose this 
doesn't have to mean at all that Matilda lives in Duckburg too, or maybe 
not even that Ludwig lives there, in your opinion.
I think I can remember Don Rosa answering a question on this list, 
saying that Scrooge's sisters were still alive, but I couldn't retrace that 
message in the Archives.
