History:
The Duck Family is known since 1564. At that time its first known member Pintail Duck sailed in the West-Indies onboard the British ship "The Falcon". He probably drowned when the ship sunk.
Nothing further is known about the family before Humperdink Duck appears in Duckburg in the late 19th century as the husband of
Elvira "Grandma Duck" Coot and thus connected bands between the Ducks and the famous
Coot family in Duckburg.
Their oldest son Quackmore Duck married Hortense McDuck and thus also connected bands between the Ducks and the old Scottish
clan McDuck
