Don Rosa's Duck Family Tree is often considered the "classic", iconic form of the Duck Family Tree.
Duck Family Trees are genealogical representations of Donald Duck's family.
History[]
Even if one only counts those of Donald Duck's relatives created by Carl Barks, they still amount to at least two dozens; and if all authors are taken into account, the number explodes to more than a hundred. Since the fifties, it has been a long running task taken by both Duck fans and official creators to create a plausible version of Donald Duck's family tree.
Some Trees present themselves as in-universe objects within stories, or give an in-universe justification for their existence even though they exist as standalone illustrations; others are devoid of a framing device and simply present new facts about the Duck universe without any intermediate steps.
As the vast majority of such trees, if they even have a title, are simply entitled The Duck Family Tree, they are referred to on this Wiki and elsewhere by commonly-accepted descriptors or nicknames.
