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.

Record-bearing passages
- Biography James was born about 1835. Based on age 66 in 1901 census. He was the son of Thomas Glasgow, and lived at Killycurragh as of 1857
- On 14 May 1857 at Oritor Presbyterian, Kildress, he married Rachel Bell of Ballynasollus, eldest daughter of William Bell. Witnessed by Thomas J Glasgow and William Glasgow.

- There are two lots of children in the civil registration to said parents: some born at Ballynasollus and some born at Ballybriest.
- The Ballynasollus children do correspond to the 1901 census for James Glasgow of Ballynasollus so I have assigned those children to that profile, and the Ballybriest children to this profile.
- It is a bit weird that this James was of Killycurragh in 1857 and 1901, but all the children were born at Ballybriest.
However, in the absence of any evidence of a third couple James Glasgow / Rachel Bell, the conclusion must be that this couple moved to Ballybriest and then moved back to Killycurragh. The children Rachel and George born at Ballybriest have correct ages on the 1901 census at Killycurragh. Other children These two profiles' death certs both name parents as James Glasgow + Rachel Bell:

It would be helpful to check for parish baptisms to this couple. They might be at either Claggan Presbyterian, or Orritor Presbyterian. Sources
