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.

Current conclusion

Glasgow-2453 · updated 2026-08-09

Glasgow-2453 is a reconstructed adult-father profile associated with Issobel's 3 February 1648 Mid Calder baptism. The baptism names a father William but does not identify his parents, birth, spouse, occupation or death.

The current father Glasgow-1084 was himself christened in 1616. That chronology is highly implausible for the father of an adult William who had a child in 1648, and no relational record supports the attachment. Detach Glasgow-2453 from Glasgow-1084.

This adult may be the same man as Glasgow-3515 or Glasgow-1087, but neither identity is proved. Do not merge the adult profiles until the original 1609, 1643-1655 and 1648 entries can be compared by residence, occupation, witnesses and manuscript wording.

Glasgow-2454 and Glasgow-3654 appear to duplicate the same Issobel baptism.
