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.

Record-bearing passages

Biography Alexander Glasgow was born about 1600, likely in or near Inveresk and Musselburgh, Midlothian, Scotland. He is documented in parish records as the father of at least six children between 1626 and 1637.
Parish and sasine records confirm that Alexander was the son of James Glasgow, tailor and burgess of Musselburgh, and his wife Janet Clerk. Property transactions recorded in 1624 and 1625 further support this identification. Children All children were baptized in Inveresk and Musselburgh Parish (Parish #689):
James Glasgow — baptized 19 March 1626, father: Alexander Glasgow
- Robert Glasgow — baptized 30 December 1627, father: Allexander Glasgow
- Marioune Glasgow — baptized 17 March 1630, father: Allexander Glasgow
- John Glasgow — baptized 25 November 1632, father: Alexander Glasgow
- Bessie Glasgow — baptized 22 March 1635, father: Allexander Glasgow
- Allexander Glasgow — baptized 3 September 1637, father: Allexander Glasgow, mother: Jannet Clerk (FR260) Property Records Sasine entries confirm family relationships:
"Alexander, son of James Glasgow, tailor, burgess of Musselburgh, and his spouse Janet Clerk" — 8 July 1624, 11 July 1625.
These transactions name all three generations and place them in Musselburgh’s trades community. Research Notes
- Identification of Alexander’s father as James Glasgow may overlap with other men of the same name. James Glasgow (abt.1575–) from Mid Calder may be less likely than a locally residing James Glasgow.

== Property Records ==  

Sasine entries confirm family relationships:

<blockquote>
"Alexander, son of James Glasgow, tailor, burgess of Musselburgh, and his spouse Janet Clerk" — 8 July 1624, 11 July 1625.
</blockquote>

These transactions name all three generations and place them in Musselburgh’s trades community.

== Research Notes ==  

* Identification of Alexander’s father as James Glasgow may overlap with other men of the same name. [[Glasgow-991|James Glasgow (abt.1575–)]] from Mid Calder may be less likely than a locally residing James Glasgow.
