According to "A Letter from Home" (as shown on a diagram
on the first panel of page 31, one-part-version) the
quarrel took place in 1932.
[Due to variations in different Lo$-translations, there
has been some debate about the exact date of the quarrel
and the implications this has for Donald's age. Maybe Don
put in that date to settle this question.]

When the quarrel took place in 1932, ALFH must be situated
in 1957, which corroborates with my earlier assumption
that ALFH had to take place after January 1957:

(Messages by me, figuring out a date for "Crown" and
ALFH.)
And please note that a possible marriage between Ludwig
and Matilda still isn't stated in canon. Moreover,
according to "Kids is kids" Ludwig is a bachelor. If
Ludwig and Donald have common ancestors (according to "The
Family Tree Spree", according to you), then Ludwig doesn't
*need* to be married to Matilda to be Donald's "uncle"
(although maybe only in the loose sense of "senior male
family member").

(Message by Daniel J. Neyer, stating Ludwig is a
bachelor.)
Anyway, these are just my two cents on the subject and
most of it has already been recounted on various
occasions. You are of course invited to disagree on the
matter. I admire the amount of work you put in your
family-tree research.
