Ludwig's relation with Donald

[Goofy313g@aol.com]

Hi! 
About Ludwig's relation with Donald Duck, he could also be called Uncle 
because he's familiar with the Duck Family. (at least in France, it's not 
rare to see a child call a friend of his parents "uncle")
He could also be a distant cousin, and I think it has already been mentionned 
somewhere...
But as there are no authors who did tell something really concrete about 
Ludwig's relation with Donald, I'll base myself upon *unpublished material*, 
and tell he's matilda's husband. When Don Rosa built the Duck Family tree, he 
based himself upon Barks's versions of his family trees, and decided to keep 
Matilda in his tree while she was no use (she didn't need to be there because 
in his version, she wasn't Gladstone Gander's biological mother, as Daphne 
actually is), so one of the reason why he kept her was probably to act as 
Ludwig's wife.
Waitaminit... There IS an official version of their relation : the tree 
published in The Little Big Book of Disney 
(http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/lbbdtree.html): and in it, 
maybe because it's probably inspired from messages posted in the list and 
related websites, Ludwig is Matilda's husband!!! So I'm afraid Sigvald was 
right :-) (*this time*!!!)
But anyway, the webmaster of the new site seems to only care about the 
cartoons universe, so why would he consider facts from comoc books 
universe?...
I asked the webmaster why he didn't use matilda, but he seems to have 
forgotten to answer this very question... Maybe he'll add her later...

Well, I think Ludwig would be so sad if he saw the quarells he provoked here 
:-) If he knew this he wouldn't have forgotten his umbrella!!! But I guess a 
Duck doesn't care about this kind of things...
