::''The [[Character name confusion|naming of this character is inconsistent]] across the many productions. To stick the closest to as many productions as possible the name Jan "Woerd" van de Polder has been chosen as the page name. This is a combination of his name from the [[Alfred J. Kwak in the Netherlands|Dutch version]] of the [[Alfred J. Kwak|animated series]] and how he's been nicknamed in the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]. The only inconsistency is that he is called Hans "Woerd" van de Polder in that book, instead of Jan. Seeing as how that part of the book is a story told by [[Henk de Mol]], one could consider this a fault on the part of the character.''

This character is inconsistently named across various productions and is also referred to in the [[Alfred J. Kwak in Germany|German version]] as a Deichbauer ''(lit. "Dike builder")''. To make matters worse, in [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] Anna's brother, that was hit by a car, is also called Jan van de Polder and Anna names one of her [[Alfred's brothers and sisters|children]] after him.

His wife is named [[Josefien van de Polder]] and his son is also named [[Jan van de Polder Junior|Jan van de Polder]]. He has at least one more son, but those aren't named.<ref name="DRO P103" />

==Appearance==
He does not appear, but likely looks similar to his daughter [[Anna van de Polder]].

==Personality==
In the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] one of [[Anna van de Polder]]'s [[Alfred's brothers and sisters|children]], Hans Kwak, is named after him. That duckling is also quite tough and big, so likely Jan "Woerd" van de Polder (or Hans "Woerd" van de Polder as he's called in this book) is also quite tough and big.<ref name="DRO P103" />

'''Alfred "Jodocus" de Mol''' is a fictional character that is [[Henk de Mol]]'s grandfather and was the inspiration for [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]]'s name. He is also the original owner of the [[Henk's mine house|mine house]] in [[Groot Waterland]], near [[Polderstad]], where Henk raises Alfred until he's too big for the house.<ref name="Ep1NL">{{CiteAJKep|NL|1}}</ref><ref name="Ep9">{{CiteAJKep|JA|9}}</ref>

In the Japanese version Alfred is Henk's great-grandfather and the one who owns the mine house is his grandfather.<ref name="Ep1JA">{{CiteAJKep|JA|1}} ''In the episode [[Henk de Mol]] calls his family member named Alfred de Mol his'' '''hii ojīsan''' ''(lit. "Great-grandfather") and the character from the photograph'' ''' ojīsan''' ''(lit. "Grandfather")''.</ref>

==Appearance==
Alfred de Mol has a twirly black moustache, but otherwise looks quite similar to his grandson [[Henk de Mol]]. They both wear big round [[wikipedia:Sunglasses|sunglasses]].

In the photograph Henk keeps of him and the [[Henk's mine house|mine house]] he is shown wearing [[wikipedia:Clog|clogs]] and a [[wikipedia:Mariner's cap|Dutch boy's cap]], as well as an overcoat, a [[wikipedia:Gilet|gilet]], [[wikipedia:Trousers|trousers]] and white [[wikipedia:Shirt|shirt]] with a [[wikipedia:Necktie|necktie]].<ref name="Ep1" /> His clothes have been described as old-fashioned [[Groot Waterland]]-wear.<ref name="DRO P115">{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 115''</ref>

==Personality==
Alfred de Mol was known throughout [[Groot Waterland]], always well mannered and in good spirits, making jokes, but never going over the line. He was known to have a big and loving heart. He used to wander away quite often at an early age.<ref name="DRO P99">{{CiteBook|DRO}} ''Page 99''</ref><ref name="Ep1" />

==Storyline==
Alfred "Jodocus" de Mol was a mole living in [[Groot Waterland]] and the grandfather of [[Henk de Mol]]. He used to be quite the little rascal, who kept going out exploring without telling others. He was called Jodocus as a nickname. Later on he lived in a [[Henk's mine house|mine house]] near [[Polderstad]] in [[Groot Waterland]].<ref name="Ep1">{{CiteAJKep|JA|1}}</ref>

Some time after Alfred de Mol's passing, Henk recalls his antics as the son of Henk's friend [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]] reminded him of his grandfather. Johan and his wife, [[Anna van de Polder]], decide to name their son after him; [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]].<ref name="Ep1" />

==Production background==
In the Japanese version of [[Alfred J. Kwak episode 1|episode 1]] [[Henk de Mol]] calls the character that [[Alfred Jodocus Kwak]] is named after his ''hii ojīsan'' (lit. "Great-grandfather"), but the character in the photograph with the [[Henk's mine house|mine house]] his ''ojīsan'' (lit. "Grandfather"). Other dubs don't make that distinction and in those stories these are the same character. Not a lot of production information is known about this character and he doesn't appear in the [[Alfred J. Kwak Episode 1#Production|episode 1 outlines]] that were released to the public.

His character is slightly expanded in the book [[De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak (book)|De Droom van Alfred Jodocus Kwak]].
