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.

How duplicate leads are calculated
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.

== Research Notes ==
=== Other David Glasgows ===
Not to be confused with other men named David Glasgow in mid nineteenth century Tyrone:
* [[Glasgow-1644|David Glasgow]] about 1836 to 1915 of Killycurragh, married [[Bell-31286|Margaret Bell]] in 1857
* [[Glasgow-692|David Glasgow]] about 1833 to 1926 of Beltonanean, married [[Glasgow-693|Margaret Jane Glasgow]] in 1878
* [[Glasgow-1788|David Glasgow]] before 1835 of Killycurragh, son of [[Glasgow-1654|David Glasgow]]
There were at least four Davids in this era, two of Killycurragh, one of Beltonanean, one of Ballynasollus. See [[Glasgow-1644]] research notes.
=== Other records for this David ===
* Possible sister, [https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/6567713134957 Mary Ann Glasgow], daughter of [[Glasgow-3196|James Glasgow]], resident at Ballynagilly in 1866, married David Bell of Dunmore
=== Moving to Ballynagilly ===
Evidence for this move:
* Daughter [[Glasgow-1650|Sarah]] born at Killycurragh in 1877
* Daughter [[Glasgow-1649|Margaret]] born at Ballynagilly in 1882
* Death records exist of the right age for David and Mary at Ballynagilly
* No matching death records exist for a David or a Mary of Killycurragh
** The 1915 death belongs to [[Glasgow-1644|David Glasgow of Killycurragh]] who married [[Bell-31286|Margaret Bell]]
* Mary’s death record named [[Glasgow-1651|Samuel Ramsey Glasgow]] as informant
** In 1895 Samuel married Annabella Crooks
** The [http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Tyrone/Lissan/Ballynagilly/858935/ 1901 census] shows Samuel, Annabella, and Mary age 68
* No civil birth record has been found for Samuel. This supports the unidentified child recorded for 1873 for this couple and makes Samuel the best candidate for that entry
=== His father ===
Further reading, [[Space:Glasgow_of_Killycurragh%2C_early_C19]]
In Griffiths Valuation there were:
* Two James in Ballynasollus, perhaps [[Glasgow-1702|James Glasgow]] about 1799 to 1882 and [[Glasgow-1681|James Glasgow]] about 1828 to 1907
* Four James in Killycurragh, [[Glasgow-1701|James Glasgow]] about 1805 to 1875, [[Glasgow-1702|James Glasgow]] about 1799 to 1882, and two others unknown
In the 1827 Tithe Applotment Book there was only one James Glasgow listed in the area.
Working hypothesis, [[Glasgow-1702|James Glasgow]] about 1799 to 1882 of Ballynasollus could be his father. This remains unproven.
So far no wills or obituaries have been found that confirm the parentage. Since most of David and Mary’s children emigrated, few obituary notices survive in Ireland.
