Talk:List of members of the Clan McDuck

Matilda McDuck and Ludwig Von Drake
The reason Matilda is believed to have married Ludwig Von Drake is that this is the only way that Ludwig could be Donald's uncle. But if they were married, the marriage ended in divorce, since Matilda is Matilda McDuck, not "Matilda Von Drake," in the story of her reappearance. Since Matilda is a proud, solitary and self-sufficient woman, and Ludwig is an absent-minded know-it-all, it is not at all surprising that they divorced. Erudil 16:29, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

A liiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle problem.
In the Donald Duck pocket books, there's a pirate in the clan McDuck, which never appeard in English-told stories and never got any English name. What to do? Anonymous 18 April 2008 22:24 (GMT +01)

Matilda in WW2 ???
How is it that Matilda McDuck "was first mentioned in Carl Barks' 1950s sketch for a Duck Family Tree" according to the article, when the Matilda Mk I tank was named after her in World War II? Klaas van Aarsen (talk) 09:25, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Possibly another cartoon duck called Matilda
Dear Klaas, I found the following discussion in Talk:Matilda Mk I, from which I conclude that the question probably will stay unanswered.

Supposedly this tank (A-11) was never officially named "Matilda", and possibly this is only incorrect (nevertheless popular) post-war nickname, taken from A-12 Matilda. It should be checked. Pibwl 23:03, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)


 * The nickname is not post war, but contemporary. The lack of an official 'christening' would not be one that would bother the British Army. I believe the sources are good enough. GraemeLeggett 15:17, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * I have seen the reference to the Mk 1 as Mailtda in print. Comparison of the profile of the two also shows the Mk 1 to be the more ducklike. GraemeLeggett


 * I am not sure the nickname refers to Matilda Mc Duck - as far as I know, and could find on the internet, Matilda Mc Duck first appeared after WW2. Possibly it is named to another cartoon duck called Matilda? 151.41.207.236 12:30, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Surely. Matilda McDuck first appeared in Carl Barks' private sketches in the 50's and in printed comics not before the 90's, when Don Rosa used her in his stories. There seems to be no references in the Internet to this cartoon duck the tank really got its name from. --Haltiamieli 12:43, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
