Hiya Guys!
In D 2000-110, an aunt of Donald and Gladstone comes in Duckburg and leaves to Don many rabbits.
In Italy, the aunt is called "Agnese Van Trott" and is their great-aunt. "Agnese" is the Italian for Agnes and "Trott" has to do with horses.
Does anybody know the original (Danish) name of the relative and her relation to the Duck Family?
Thank you,
Sim

Egmont stories are usually written in English and then translated to various languages, including Danish. Therefore, the original name for an Egmont-created character is not necessarily the same name the character has in Danish.
In this case, the character's original name is Agnes Van Trott. At one point, Donald Duck tells Huey, Dewey and Louie: "Gladstone has to meet someone... For some lucky reason, our common Aunt Agnes has chosen to visit him, not me!" Later, Gladstone refers to her as "Aunt". So she is the aunt of Donald and Gladstone.
I have no idea what her Danish name is, and how (or whether) the Danish translator has let her be related to the Ducks.

That's ok, Thank you, Lars! ;)

In Danish she is only called Agnes and is aunt to both Don and Gladstone.
