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.

No sufficiently similar same-name person is currently indexed.

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 1805. Based on death 1875 age 70.
  • His wife was Margaret (Henry) Glasgow (abt.1810-1892). Her death is given on the headstone; see her profile for notes on the maiden name.
  • He passed away 27 Jul 1875 at Killycurragh due to chronic pneumonia. Informed by Thomas James Glasgow, Killycurragh. James Glasgow, 1875, Cookstown, 70 (https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/details-civil/5202507224705) at Irish Civil Registration - Deaths He is buried in a family plot at Clare Churchyard, Kildress. - note possibly incorrect wife's maiden name. Space:Kildress_Church_of_Ireland_Churchyard%2C_Cookstown%2C_Tyrone - James Glasgow jun Research Notes There were other James Glasgow of similar age in nearby townlands.
  • The cemetery headstone gives the suffix "jun." and confirms his wife (d. 1892) and daughters Annie (d 1896), Jane (d 1925), Margaret (d 1928) and John (d 1929)
  • In the will of Thomas Henry (-1860), the executor is named "James Glasgow of Killycurragh, son-in-law". Hence I have assigned his wife the maiden name Henry; and the farm of Thomas Henry passes to James's son Thomas J. Glasgow according to the Valuation Update Books. I believe "Rutherford" as on the Findagrave page is incorrect; see Margaret's profile for more detail.

Research Notes
There were other James Glasgow of similar age in nearby townlands.

In Killycurragh for Griffith's Valuation were four James: jun., sen., (Mitchell) and (Thomas). The named disambiguators are usually a father's name or mother's maiden name, but not always.

The cemetery headstone gives the suffix "jun." and confirms his wife (d. 1892) and daughters Annie (d 1896), Jane (d 1925), Margaret (d 1928) and John (d 1929)

The children Thomas James, Nancy, Allen, Samuel, Sarah and John are definitely all siblings as can be seen from their funeral mourners list / wills -- particularly that of Nancy.

In the will of Thomas Henry (-1860), the executor is named "James Glasgow of Killycurragh, son-in-law". Hence I have assigned his wife the maiden name Henry; and the farm of Thomas Henry passes to James's son Thomas J. Glasgow according to the Valuation Update Books. I believe "Rutherford" as on the Findagrave page is incorrect; see Margaret's profile for more detail.
