The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gerardum…primus comes Wanderi Montis" as son of "Gerardus de Alsatia dux Mosellanorum"[348].

The Codex de l’Angelica records that “Gerardus comes et Alberada comitissa” donated a serf to Remiremont, undated[353].

Another possibility is that the donor was Gerhard [I] Graf von Egisheim (the great-great uncle of the known wife of Gérard Comte de Vaudémont, see the document ALSACE), who is not otherwise recorded as having married, assuming that the donation was dated to the 1030s. An indication of her origin is provided by the same source which records that “Alberada comitissa” donated serfs to Remiremont, for the souls of “suorum antecessorum que venerunt de Castencium [Chatenois] et manserunt in potestate que dicitur Ulmis [Ormes]”, undated[354].] m [secondly] ([1080]) HEILWIG von Egisheim, daughter of GERHARD [II] Graf von Egisheim & his wife Richarda --- (-29 Jan before 1126, bur Belval).
