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.

Dates are eligibility gates, not merely deductions: chronologically impossible people are excluded. Dates, places, spouses, parent certainty and children's profiles and names are then compared. A high score is a prompt to inspect records, not a merge recommendation.

Current conclusion

Glasgow-1603

Hugh occupies a plausible generation in the route from the Corsankell family to the later Kilwinning Glasgows, but no reviewed record yet proves Hugh's existence, birth, father or son. Every structured fact is derived from one Ancestry tree.

His current father James Glasgow (Glasgow-991), about 1575, Midlothian belongs to a record-led Calder/Inveresk household. The profile's own biography instead calls Hugh an Ayrshire progenitor. The attachment is therefore poorly supported and geographically inferior to the working Ayrshire route:

Glasgow-1098 ? Glasgow-1168 -> Glasgow-3193
  ? missing Ayrshire generation / Glasgow-1603
    ? Glasgow-1604
      ? Rev. Glasgow-1073

Hugh could represent the son or grandson of John Glasgow (Glasgow-3193), born before 1542, Corsankell/Kilwinning, but that exact edge is not proved. John at Montfoid in 1610, James at Brekpleughe in 1632 and Ninian at Brigend of Eglinton in 1634 are documented people in the same missing-generation corridor and may expose Hugh as a conflated placeholder.

Hugh is currently estimated to have been born about 1600 and is associated with Ayrshire. Both the estimate and the geographic association derive from the cited online tree and remain uncertain.

== Research Notes ==
No reviewed record yet proves Hugh's identity, birth, father, or son. The existing links to [[Glasgow-991|James Glasgow]] as father and [[Glasgow-1604|John Glasgow]] as son are retained as '''uncertain scaffold relationships'''.

James Glasgow's documented household is centred on Calder and Inveresk in Midlothian, while this profile's working hypothesis is Ayrshire; that geographic mismatch makes the present father attachment especially tentative. A more plausible broad route may lie in the Corsankell–Stevenston–Kilwinning cluster beneath [[Glasgow-1098|William Glasgow]], but no source identifies Hugh's exact place in it.

A 1571 record names James elder of Corsankell and his sons James and John, but does not name Hugh.<ref>National Records of Scotland, [https://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=GD39%2F5%2F59 GD39/5/59], 1571.</ref> The Glasgow commissary testament index also identifies John at Montfoid (1610), James at Brekpleughe (1632), and Ninian at Brigend of Eglinton (1634).<ref>Francis J. Grant, ed., [https://archive.org/details/scottishrecordso07scotuoft ''Commissariot Record of Glasgow: Register of Testaments, 1547–1800''], surname index.</ref> These records establish nearby candidate households and may indicate a missing generation or conflated placeholder; they do not prove Hugh. He could be a son or grandson of [[Glasgow-3193|John Glasgow]], but no direct attachment should be made without a record.
