Correct! But that was in an early fase.

This is *not* correct because:
1) They did exist in Barks' Duck Family Tree
2) It was obvious that Scrooge had at least one sibling - otherwise he
wouldn't have been Donald's uncle. And since Donald's last name is Duck, not
McDuck that sibling had to be a sister.

Yes, but unlike Don Rosa he did that in contradiction to Barks.
