How parent leads are calculated

Automated leads use birth surnames—not married surnames—as parental eligibility, role-specific biological age limits, bounded and approximate-date uncertainty, household chronology, specific time-aware localities, mapped distance, tenancy succession, migration destinations and sex-aware Scottish naming positions across generations. People already attached as the subject's parents stay in the identity summary and are excluded from this alternative-candidate list, regardless of relationship confidence. The main calibration uses clues available on disconnected profiles; existing parent and sibling links are retained as comparison context rather than treated as transferable evidence. Common ordered names and grandparent-to-child echoes receive a small non-zero weight, so a John or James match can support several independent criteria without producing a lead alone. Rare names, repeated bearers and bundles across otherwise distinct branches receive substantially more weight according to catalogue frequency. An exact migration place is weighted by its rarity and repetition across both branches; a shared destination country is worth only one point. Extra weight is added only when at least three independent clue types converge: naming, locality, specific migration, household chronology or collateral networks. Sparse profiles retain a clearly labelled chronology-only fallback instead of disappearing. Countries, states, counties and research clusters do not count as a shared locality, and fallback, broad representative or kin-inferred coordinates are excluded from distance scoring. Shared descendant profiles are removed before branch-name comparison. A candidate already recorded as a parent-in-law is excluded. A confident or independently supported parent is treated as settled; uncertain and unassessed attachments remain open to alternative comparison. A different linked parent, an uncle/aunt or grandparent path, and a matching existing child profile prevent an alternative from being classified as a strong direct-parent lead until the underlying tree conflict or duplicate is resolved. Familiar forms such as Bessie are normalised. Surname remains an eligibility filter worth zero points.

Naming customs, shared farms and occupations are circumstantial. Children, spouses and collateral relatives may be missing, and tree-derived family networks are not independent evidence. Scores rank research leads; they do not prove parentage.

Biography
Jhone was born in 1608. He is the son of John Glasgow (bef.1590-). "Scotland Births and Baptisms, 1564-1950", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X1BL-X8B : 12 February 2020), Jhone Glasgow in entry for Jhone Glasgow, 1608. 

Probably a nephew of James Glasgow (abt.1575-)

John Glasgow lived in Lanarkshire, Scotland, during the seventeenth century.

His estate appears to have been recorded by the Commissary Court of Lanark, but the original testament still needs to be re-read before his residence, family relationships and exact death date can be stated confidently.

The published Lanark testament index includes separate entries for men named John Glasgow dated:

* 27 May 1650;
* 13 January 1662;
* 25 March 1685.

The 1650 entry belongs to John Glasgow of Quothquan. This profile is more likely connected with either the 1662 or 1685 estate.

Further details should be added once the original records CC14/5/6 and CC14/5/12 have been transcribed.
Research NotesRecord identification
The previous biography on this profile described the 1650 testament of John Glasgow of Quothquan, including his daughters Issobell and Jonet and the estate recorded in CC14/5/5.

Those details have been removed because they belong to the separate 1650 profile.

This profile appears to concern either:

* the John Glasgow whose estate was recorded on 13 January 1662, probably in CC14/5/6; or
* the John Glasgow whose estate was recorded on 25 March 1685, probably in CC14/5/12.

The original documents must be checked before choosing between them.
Attached family
The attached child John Glasgow has elsewhere been associated with the 1662 estate as an executor.

That relationship should be retained only after the original wording of CC14/5/6 has been verified.
Death date
The profile has used a death year of 1685, but that date has not yet been matched securely to this individual.

Until CC14/5/12 is transcribed, the death date should remain uncertain.
Further research
* Transcribe CC14/5/6.
* Transcribe CC14/5/12.
* Identify each man’s residence and occupation.
* Identify executors, spouse, children and other relatives.
* Match the correct testament to this profile.
* Reassess the attached family once the original wording is available.

'''John Glasgow''' lived in Lanarkshire, Scotland, during the seventeenth century.

His estate appears to have been recorded by the Commissary Court of Lanark, but the original testament still needs to be re-read before his residence, family relationships and exact death date can be stated confidently.

The published Lanark testament index includes separate entries for men named John Glasgow dated:

* 27 May 1650;
* 13 January 1662;
* 25 March 1685.

The 1650 entry belongs to [[Glasgow-3296|John Glasgow of Quothquan]]. This profile is more likely connected with either the 1662 or 1685 estate.

Further details should be added once the original records CC14/5/6 and CC14/5/12 have been transcribed.

== Research Notes ==

=== Record identification ===

The previous biography on this profile described the 1650 testament of [[Glasgow-3296|John Glasgow of Quothquan]], including his daughters Issobell and Jonet and the estate recorded in CC14/5/5.

Those details have been removed because they belong to the separate 1650 profile.

This profile appears to concern either:

* the John Glasgow whose estate was recorded on 13 January 1662, probably in CC14/5/6; or
* the John Glasgow whose estate was recorded on 25 March 1685, probably in CC14/5/12.

The original documents must be checked before choosing between them.

=== Attached family ===

The attached child [[Glasgow-3331|John Glasgow]] has elsewhere been associated with the 1662 estate as an executor.

That relationship should be retained only after the original wording of CC14/5/6 has been verified.

=== Death date ===

The profile has used a death year of 1685, but that date has not yet been matched securely to this individual.

Until CC14/5/12 is transcribed, the death date should remain uncertain.

=== Further research ===

* Transcribe CC14/5/6.
* Transcribe CC14/5/12.
* Identify each man’s residence and occupation.
* Identify executors, spouse, children and other relatives.
* Match the correct testament to this profile.
* Reassess the attached family once the original wording is available.
