Who is Luitgard's father?

"Hedwig of Nordgau," [1], says that Hedwig "married Siegfried of Luxembourg, first count of Luxembourg and founder of the county." It also says that Siegfried was her maternal uncle. Her mother, according to this article, was Luitgard of Lotharingia. Then Luitgard would be Siegfried's sister. Since Siegfried was the son of Wigeric Lotharingia (see "Wigeric of Lotharingia" at [2] and "Siegfried of Luxembourg" at [3], then Luitgard was also a daughter of Wigeric of Lotharingis.

But "Wigeric of Lotharingia" contradicts this by stating "Some genealogies record two other children, Henry and Liutgard, who were in fact son and daughter of another Wigeric, son of Roric, a contemporary living in the shire of Bidgau-Trier." In which case, Hedwig did not marry her maternal uncle.

I'd like to know which article is correct. If an agreement cannot be reached by the two authors, then I'd like to see a cautionary statement in "Hedwig of Nordgau."
