Barks' stories did take place in what was "today" when Barks wrote the 
stories.  It is thus EXACTLY as in the Egmont and Egmont Ehapa cases.

According to Swedish translations, Ludwig Von Drake is the brother of 
Donald's mother.

According to Swedish translations, Ludwig Von Drake is the brother of Donald's mother.
According to Rosa's tree, Donald's mother is called Hortense McDuck.
According to Rosa's tree, this Hortense McDuck has a sister called Matilda McDuck.
According to Rosa's tree, none of the parents of Hortense McDuck and Matilda McDuck have been maried to anyone else.
Thus, Ludwig Von Drake is the brother of Hortense McDuck and Matilda McDuck.
According to Rosa, Ludwig Von Drake is married to Matilda McDuck.
Thus, Ludwig Von Drake is married to his own sister.
