Does anyone have other sources as proof of Eberhard being the son of Meginhard and Evesa and brother of Meginhard Graaf van Hamaland?

Medlands has this: "After Godefrid was killed in 885, the emperor appointed the Saxon Graf Eberhard as duke and, after Eberhard was murdered in 898, his brother Meginhard was appointed. No later mention of this imperially created Frisian duchy has been found in the primary sources so far consulted and it is assumed that it lapsed as separate counties developed in Frisia. Meginhard is probably identified with the early 9th century Graaf van Hamaland of the same name."http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HOLLAND.htm

but then forgets about him here: http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HOLLAND.htm#WichmannHamalanddiedaft...

Would be great to find additional corroboration.

A quick search gave me this (don't know the quality of the site): https://www.graafschap-middeleeuwen.nl/joomla/index.php/adel/graafs...
You could try to translate it with Google translate or https://www.deepl.com/translator

Thanks Job - (I don't battle too much with written Dutch, because of Afrikaans) - still, the Sources don't seem to be there though.

I'm a bit busy at the moment and it is very hot here, so I'm less time on the internet for next few weeks, but I'll try to find something better when I have the time (if by that time it is still relevant)

You're a star :-)

It's not urgent. The Medlands supposition seems strong enough to leave him there - but also easy to challenge if other evidence contradicts.

Graafschap Middeleeuwen document also supports Meringard II and Evissa as possible parents.

Rerum Germanicum seems as a reliable source as one is likely to get ?
