What sources do we have to verify that this is the child of Radbod, King of the Frisians?

Korzystam w tym przypadku z danych zawartych w GENI. Patrz ścieżka. Innych danych nie posiadam. Moim skromnym zdaniem sprawdzenie tych danych jest zajęciem dla historyków i kuratorów. Ciągłe dyskusje ze skromnym użytkownikiem poszukującym swoich krewnych są irytujące. Gdybym miał możliwość wyłączeniem tej funkcji pewnie bym z niej skorzystał. W ciągu jednego dnia potrafi być ich kilkadziesiąt. Zwykle są to informacje, że ktoś znalazł swoich krewnych. Zawiadomienia te odrywają od pracy i generalnie są denerwujące. Doceniam dążenie do poprawności danych ale wnioskuję o przemyślenie sposobu ich wprowadzania.

If you remove yourself as a manager, you won't be tagged in the Discussions. While you are a manager, the presumption is that you want to help maintain the profile.

Sharon in another discussion we are in you asked for sources reading the van Friesland kings
Rather than flood all the discussion with the same info I thought I would put what I just found in here ...

http://wikipediaaudio.com/Abba_(count)

Of the first historically verifiable rulers of Frisia, whether they are called dukes or kings, the last royal dynasty below is established by the chronicles of Merovingian kings of the Franks, with whom they were contemporaries. In these contemporary chronicles, they were styled dux, a Latin term for leader which is the origin of the title duke and its cognates in other languages (duc, duce, doge, duque, etc.). They were independent until the death of Radbod at the earliest.
Finn, son of Folcwald, is a semi-legendary figure. He was killed by Hengest, who later migrated to Britain and founded the Kingdom of Kent. For rulers prior to Finn the later Frisians developed a rich store of legend and myth, and these too are listed here in chronological order.
After coming under Frankish rule, Frisia was governed by Frankish counts and by potestates elected by the Frisians.

Fictional rulers
A description of a course at the University of Amsterdam states ""One of the characteristics of Frisian historiography and literature from the Middle-Ages up to the nineteenth and twentieth century is the existence of a comprehensive corpus of fantastic, apocryphal and mystified historic works, which deal with the origins and identity of the Frisians. Well known examples are medieval myths of origin like the Gesta Frisiorum or the Tractatus Alvini, sixteenth-century humanistic scholarly books by e.g. Suffridus Petrus, Ocko van Scarl en Martinus Hamconius and nineteenth-century forgeries like the Tescklaow and the infamous Oera Linda Book."
The 17th century chronicle Frisia seu de viris rebusque illustribus, by Martinus Hamconius, purported to list the ancient kings of Frisia, beginning with Friso who had allegedly migrated from India during the time of Alexander the Great. A 19th century work, the Oera Linda Book (authorship uncertain but considered to be a hoax), embellished these stories further by describing an ancient and glorious history for the Frisians extending back thousands of years, during which time they were supposedly ruled over by a line of matriarchs known as folk-mothers, founded by the eponymous goddess Frya, ancestress of the Frisians.

Goddess and Folk-mothers
According to the Oera Linda Book.
Frya, ?-2194 BC (eponymous ancestress of the Frisians, who supposedly inhabited all of Northern and Western Europe)
Fasta, 2194-after 2145 BC (appointed by Frya when the latter ascended to the stars during a terrible flood)
Medea
Thiania
Hellenia

Minna, fl. 2013 BC (faced an invasion of Finns from the east, who settled in the Frisian lands in Scandinavia)

Rosamond, 1631-? BC (the Frisians in Western Europe revolted and became the Celts)
Hellicht, fl. 1621 BC
(unknown)
Frana, ?-590 BC (murdered by the Finns during an invasion)
Adela (de facto), 590-559 BC (supposedly ordered the compilation of what became the Oera Linda Book)
(vacant)
Gosa, 306-before 264 BC (elected after a long vacancy, Frisian rule confined to approximately the modern Netherlands)
(vacant)
Prontlik, fl. c. 60 BC (puppet folk-mother appointed by King Asinga Ascon)

Many of those profiles I add in 2014... those were the ancestors I added that were disconnected from Radbad I van Friesland as his ancestors. The same ones you question as being fictitious

I just thought I would share with you what I found a few years back.. I just found it again tonight.

Thanks for this, Dorothy - good to keep to remind us what is known to be fictional while we're looking for Primary Sources.
