===Humperdink Duck=== '''Humperdink Duck''' is the earliest known contemporary Duck family member. He is the husband of Elvira Coot, known to the family as "Grandma Duck", and the father of Quackmore (Donald's father), Eider, and Daphne Duck (Gladstone's mother). Humperdink is father-in-law to Scrooge's sister Hortense (Donald's mother) who married his son Quackmore. He is Donald's paternal grandfather and the maternal great-grandfather of Huey, Dewey, and Louie, through their mother Della (Donald's twin sister). Humperdink worked as a [[farmer]] in rural Duckburg. [[Don Rosa]] gave the character relevant appearances in two stories, "The Invader Of Fort Duckburg",<ref>[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+93227 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Invader Of Fort Duckburg'']</ref> a chapter of the saga ''[[The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck]]'', and "The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink".<ref>[https://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+97437 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Sign Of The Triple Distelfink'']</ref> In the family, he was known as "Pa Duck", and later as "Grandpa Duck". Humperdink's life before having a family was never shown in the comics. Don Rosa speculated that the Duck family originated from England, but it is unknown if Humperdink is an immigrant.<ref>[http://duckman.pettho.com/characters/humperd.html Who's who in Duckburg - Humperdink "Grandpa" Duck] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110514100459/http://duckman.pettho.com/characters/humperd.html |date=May 14, 2011 }}</ref> In the story "The Good Old Daze" by [[Tony Strobl]],<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=W+DD+++93-05 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Good Old Daze'']</ref> Grandpa Duck (an older Humperdink) appears in a flashback scene taking care of little Donald along with Grandma, where he is portrayed as a dedicated but rigorous grandfather. Grandpa Duck's real name was not revealed in this story, but in an untitled story from 1951, an old lover of Grandma called Humperdink has a cameo appearance. Don Rosa considered that this character became Donald's paternal grandfather.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://goofy313g.free.fr/calisota_online/Characters/grandpa.html|title=Humperdink Dabney "Grandpa" Duck|last=r|website=goofy313g.free.fr|access-date=24 August 2018}}</ref> In "The Good Old Daze", artist [[Tony Strobl]] drew Grandpa Duck with a long beard and some hair, while Rosa has depicted him with a short beard and a full head of hair. In the Danish story ''The Good Neighbors'' (part of the series, ''[[Tamers of Nonhuman Threats]]''), by writer Lars Jensen and artist [[Flemming Andersen]], Strobl's version of Grandpa Duck appears in a flashback scene that is told by his wife Grandma Duck.<ref>[http://inducks.org/story.php?c=D+2010-108 Inducks - Page to the comic story ''The Good Neighbors'']</ref> He also appears unnamed in the 1955 film ''[[No Hunting]]'', in which he posthumously inspires Donald to take part in hunting season.
