In the Italian/German family tree, Donald has Spanish, Scottish, and
Dutch ancestors. In fact, Cornelius Coot is from Holland. 

In Don Rosa's tree, Grandma Duck is a grandchild (or so) of Coot, but
I don't know if Don meant Coot to be Dutch (he didn't have a Dutch accent
when he got Fort Duckburgh..)

BTW, talking about Holland: Don, will we see young Scrooge selling wind
to the Dutch wind mills near the Zuyder Zee?
