falsely attributed earlier wife: Cunegonde, widow of Wigeric and Ricuin, and granddaughter of Louis II king of France [Ref: HenryII gisel101 4/24/2008]

There is no definite evidence that Giselbert had another wife before he married Gerberga in 928 or 929. Most historians, including those cited and quoted on the website you checked (Mittlealter-Genealogie), do not accept that Giselbert married twice.
The only basis for naming a previous wife is an undated charter for Echternach abbey given by "Godilda ob amorem Dei et remedium anime domni mei G.i ducis et anime mee" (Godilda for the love of God and for the good of the soul of my lord Duke G[iselbert] and of my own soul).
Camille Wampach in his edition of Echternach documents placed this between 915 and 928, but there is no particular reason for the latter date except his interpretation that by "domnus meus" Godlilda may have meant "my husband". However, Giselbert was named as "dominus" in addition to his relevant titles in at least one other charter, for Stavelot-Malmedy dated 927, where the question of a spouse does not arise and he subscribed with the same formula ("Domno suo et in Christo venerabili viro illustri Giselberto comiti et abbati...S. domnus Giselbertus comes et abba").
