I checked out "Duck of the Antarctic" (D 9312) earlier today. The story
is about Donald being inspired by a distant relative to do something
heroic. In the original this relative is Don's great great granduncle
Captain Duck of the Antarctic; in the Danish version it's Don's
great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Roald And. We never see this
relative, so that picture of "Douglas/Freddy Fryseand" on your Duck
Family Tree couldn't have come from this story. And since their names
are dissimilar, I think it's safe to conclude they're not the same
character.
Also, at the end of "Antarctic" we learn that Captain Duck/Roald And is
*not* a relative of Donald's, after all. So this character shouldn't be
included on the Tree, in my opinion.

I'm still wondering where that picture on the Family Tree and the name
"Freddy Fryseand" came from, though.
