Barks did tell us that indirectly by giving Scrooge another last name than
Donald. If Scrooge was intended as Donald's father's brother his name would
obviously had been "Duck", not "McDuck".

Anyway, what's even more important is that there are AFAIK no original
US-source claiming that Scrooge is Donald's father's brother. And please
remember that translations don't count compared to original sources, and
neither does European "myths".
