1. Donald's' sister Thelma, also known as "Della", was the mother of which trouble making ducklings?

Answer: Huey, Dewey and Louie

They were created in 1937 and were often the cause of Donald losing his well known temper. The name of their father is strangely not known.
2. Who was Donald's father?

Answer: Quackmore Duck

Quackmore, who also had a bad temper rather like Donald, was the Chief accountant of Scrooge McDuck, which is presumably where he met Hortense, Scrooge's sister and Donald's mother. You would of course naturally expect Donald and his father to have the same last name.

Elvira, known as "Grandma Duck", married Humperdink Duck. The singer Engelbert Humperdink is best known for his songs "Release Me" and "The Last Waltz".
