What about the $crooge's siblings?

I know 5 siblings of $crooge:
- Hortense & Matilda (from Qus/CBL 6I)
- Gideon McDuck, $crooge's half-brother (from I TL 132-AP)
- Rumpus McFowl, $crooge's half-brothe (from D 91377)
- Scrooge "Pothole" McDuck, $crooge identical twin brother (from I AO 55034-A)

Do you know another ones?

I didn't know Scrooge had a twin brother. I knew about the other four siblings. I once wrote a thread with the same name but I wound up erasing. I'm glad you brought it back though. I think it's weird that Scrooge's twin brother would have the same first name as him but his name comes from his uncle Angus' nickname Pothole. Was he created recently? I thought Scrooge had only four siblings Matilda, Hortense, Rumpus, and Gideon. I didn't know about Scrooge Pothole. Did you make him up or is he official?

Barks had Pothole McDuck on a McDuck family tree. He also had Scrooge refer to him in a story. He was NOT the same person as Uncle Angus (whose picture was shown in a Barks Christmas story).That Italian writer should NOT have called Pothole "Scrooge". He should NOT have made identical twins have the same first name (and I don't believe he did). That must be some kind of error in COA, or an error in misinterpreting COA data.

Actually Scrooge's Uncle Pothole was mentioned in Uncle Scrooge #11 in The Great Steamboat Race. The Uncle that was mentioned in Donald Duck Four Color #367 in A Christmas for Shacktown was Uncle Jake. They are two different characters. Don Rosa came with the name Angus because he didn't think Pothole sounded Scottish.

Roger, please look at what Sim wrote:

Quote from user: Sim- Scrooge "Pothole" McDuck, $crooge identical twin brother (from I AO 55034-A)
Entering "I AO 55034-A" into the COA search engine gets us this:

So no, Sim did not come up with that character. Guido Martina did.

Does anyone here have the full story so he/she can check what Scrooge's twin was named?

I have the story, but it is in italian.
Uncle Scrooge gives Donald $50 and invited him in Golden City, Texas.
Donald takes up the nephews and when they arrive in Texas, uncle Scrooge makes a revelation.
He is $crooge McDuck's twin brother and every people in Texas call him "Pothole" because he gives all his mines.

Yeah I saw it. I'm just surprised I didn't know about him before.

In "Too Many McDucks", S 70121 (http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=S+70121) Scrooge has a cousin who looks exactly like him, i.e. rather like a twin brother.
And in "Paperino e la vecchia ricevuta", I TL 582-A (http://coa.inducks.org/story.php?c=I+TL++582-A) the story (about a heritage) reveals several cousins and uncles of Scrooge.
Then, there is also http://coa.inducks.org/character.php?c=Paperdick&view=1

Scrooge had an Uncle himself, who is even stingier. I can't find him, still.

Now I do! He's from I TL 1988-E, and is called Uncle Miser (Oom Schraalhans).

Maybe he is Bruce's father. I do know there is one story where Scrooge has a cousin named Bruce that is stingier than he is.

Back to the identical twin: In Inducks he's called "Mani-Buche" d'Paperon which google-translates to "Hands-hole" De'Scrooge, which makes sense only because scrooge is called Paperon McPaper in Italian
