I actually read somewhere that he was a Frump by birth in some incarnation... Ah well...

"In the 1960s television series, Fester (played by Jackie Coogan) is uncle to Morticia Addams. In one episode, he became perplexed when asked his last name, suggesting that he has none or has somehow forgotten it. In several episodes, Fester refers to the Addams lineage as if it were his own, but the flashbacks in the episodes "Morticia's Romance, Parts 1 and 2," clearly establish him as Morticia's uncle, brother of her mother, Hester Frump, a.k.a. Granny Frump (Margaret Hamilton). Perhaps, lacking a last name of his own, Fester was all the more dedicated to upholding the honor of another. In various episodes, he was a partner in typical sitcom schemes with Gomez, Morticia, or Grandmama Addams, indicating no real preference for any family member over others."

[link] Frump is the closest name I could give him in this instance, as he did not come from the Addams lineage..

He was later retconned as Gomez's brother in the cartoon from the 70s and the movies from the nineties and the new addams family from 98 to 99 I have seen the cartoons from the 90s as well this was the only time he was morticia's uncle

Yeah, if I were to ever do anything outside of the original tv series, then I'd make him an Addams...
