**BEHOLD!!**

The _glorious_ family tree of [DONALD DUCK (CLICK LINK HERE)](http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/trees/myducktreebig.html).  
Somebody has **Cecil Adams** ’s eye for detail, but _waaaay_ too much time on their hands.

Nope, Scrooge McDuck is in the third row from the top, about thirteenth from the left.

Good lord.
