::''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.'' 
'''Jan "Woerd" van de Polder''' or '''Jan "Woerd" van de Polder''' or '''Hans "Woerd" van de Polder'''<ref name="DRO P103" /> or '''Woerd'''<ref>{{CiteBook|WW1}} ''Page 12''</ref><ref>{{CiteBook|DWA1}} ''Page 8''</ref> or '''Mr. Polder'''<ref name="Ep1" /><ref name="Ep1de">{{CiteAJKep|DE|1}}</ref> is a fictional character that is mentioned as being [[Anna van de Polder]]'s father, but doesn't appear in any shape or form. 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. 

==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" />

==Storyline==
After his daughter [[Anna van de Polder]] met and subsequently married [[Johan Sebastiaan Kwak]], Woerd and his family had to move. 

==Family Tree==
