As I wrote:
"The name of the character in W DD   30-02 is Pokerface McDuck. He does not appear in the story, because he is dead. 
The story is about Donald and Gladstone being his heirs. Donald gets a framed portrait of Pokerface McDuck (hence the possibility of including his picture in modern reconstructed family trees),..."

The tree looks like a tree with no leaves and just a few branches. The tree is drawn on a roller blind. There is no specification of Pokerface's relation to the other ducks, but he ought to be a remote relative, judging from Donald's remark as cited above.
