Friedrich was born about 1050.[1] He was the son of Friedrich von Büren[2] and Hildegard von Egisheim as documented in a donation by Hildegard in 1094.[3] During the conflict between Heinrich IV and Rudolph von Rheinfelden he supported Heinrich and, consequently received the Duchy of Swabia as imperial fief on Easter 1079[4][5] and the betrothal to Heinrich's 7 year old daughter Agnes.[4] He died in 1105 and was buried in the monastery Lorch.[6]
LNAB changed from Hohenstaufen to Staufer 6 Aug 2021. Re: Hohenstaufen - As far as I can see we would only have to look at the siblings and ancestors of Hohenstaufen-13. We have them as Büren. Of note, though, that only one of them was ever called von Büren (de Buren in the Latin source). The father of that one is only identified as Friedrich (Fridericus) in only one source, Stablo's Tabula consanguinitatis. Unfortunately, there is no definite genealogy of the Staufer family to fall back on. Furthermore, the location of "Büren" has not been definitively settled and it appears in no other contemporary source. Considering that the Staufer seem to appear out of nowhere and yet marry women of very high, even imperial families, and get appointed to high positions such as dukes within a couple of generations of their first mention in the sources it is entirely possible that they really belong to another, unidentified prominent family in the empire.

Thanks for this but modern scholarship using primary sources only record the 3 children currently attached - Friedrich, Konrad and Gertrud.
Charles Cawley, cites the Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines, as having an unnamed sister of 'imperatoris Conradi' marry Hugues, Comte de Roucy, https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/SWABIA.htm#RichildeMHuguesRoucy This is probably the earliest source that mentions her family but Alberic de Trois-Fontaines is known to have quite a few mistakes in his genealogy.
Other sources Cawley cites clearly indicate her name is Richilde or Richentia, but unless there are other sources, her parentage is Unknown.

It might even be worth someone from the Germany Project going to the main category page and checking which profiles are under that category?
"He was the son of Frederick of Büren (c.1020–1053), Count in the Riesgau and Swabian Count Palatine, with Hildegard of Egisheim-Dagsburg (d. 1094/95), a niece of Pope Leo IX and founder of the Abbey of Saint Faith in Schlettstadt, Alsace. When Frederick succeeded his father, he had Hohenstaufen Castle erected on the eponymous mountain in the Swabian Jura range, which became the ancestral seat of the dynasty. He also founded a Benedictine abbey at the site of former Lorch Castle about 1100.[1] By his mother he ruled over large Alsatian estates around Schlettstadt and Hagenau.
When during the Investiture Controversy the Swabian duke Rudolf of Rheinfelden was elected anti-king to King Henry IV of Germany, Frederick remained a loyal supporter of the ruling Salian dynasty. In turn Henry vested him with the Swabian ducal dignity in 1079 and also gave him the hand of his seven-year-old daughter Agnes of Waiblingen.[2] Contested by Rudolf's son Berthold of Rheinfelden and Berthold of Zähringen, Frederick only ruled over the northern parts of the Swabian duchy down to Ulm and the Danube River.[3] Finally in 1098, he and Berthold of Zähringen reached a compromise, whereby his rival confined himself to the title of a "Duke of Zähringen".[3]
In the last years of his reign, Frederick was able to expand the Hohenstaufen territories northwards, when he assumed the office of a Vogt (reeve) of Weissenburg Abbey and the Bishopric of Speyer in Rhenish Franconia."
Also his son Frederich is duplicated. [1]
