Gilles,
In your duck family tree you refer to a ? McDuck: "this cousin of
Scrooge who is more stingy than him appeared in "Thrift Cometh Before
Pride"..."
I've just looked at this story, S 73075, in the original English.
The character's name is really Midas McDuck- and in the original version,
he's not really Scrooge's cousin, he's Scrooge's *uncle* ...so he must be
very, very old indeed...
Meanwhile, Daisy's cousin "Lapie" in S 77142 is really named Gandy.
And the recurring beggar cousin of Scrooge who looks like him-- the
character you translate from the Italian as "Nobucks" McDuck-- is really
named Moocher McDuck.
Best, David
