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.

Record-bearing passages

  • Biography John Glasgow was born 19 April 1755 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and christened there on 23 April 1755, the son of Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McCachen (recorded as Margtt. McKechny). Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, John Glasgow, 19 Apr 1755; FamilySearch (accessed 21 Sep 2025) ARK:VRS2-MNP (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRS2-MNP).
  • John’s father Hugh was baptised in Kilwinning in 1710 and later migrated to Kilmarnock, where his first child in that parish, Ann (Glasgow) Douglas, was born in 1749. This places John as part of the first generation of Glasgows firmly settled in Kilmarnock.
  • On 17 September 1788, John married Margaret (Wyllie) Glasgow in Kilmarnock.

    • Strong evidence supports combining this profile with John Glasgow (1755–), as both share identical parentage, birth year, and geographic context.
    • The family’s migration from Kilwinning to Kilmarnock is marked by the 1749 baptism of Ann Glasgow, daughter of Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McCachen, in Kilmarnock.
    • Onomastics strengthen the link: the appearance of the Gemmill name in John’s son’s marriage (Janet Gemmill) echoes maternal naming patterns (Mary Gemill was Hugh Glasgow’s mother).
    • John Glasgow (abt.1683–) of Kilwinning married Jean (Wyllie) Glasgow (abt.1682–). This John Glasgow is likely their great-grandson via John Glasgow (1703–) and Hugh Glasgow (1710).
    • The Old Parish Record of son Ninian Glasgow (1797–1867) confirms parental names. Sources

Biography
John Glasgow was born 19 April 1755 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and christened there on 23 April 1755, the son of Hugh Glasgow and Margaret McCachen (recorded as Margtt. McKechny). Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950, Glasgow, Lanarkshire, John Glasgow, 19 Apr 1755; FamilySearch (accessed 21 Sep 2025) ARK:VRS2-MNP (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRS2-MNP). 

John’s father Hugh was baptised in Kilwinning in 1710 and later migrated to Kilmarnock, where his first child in that parish, Ann (Glasgow) Douglas, was born in 1749. This places John as part of the first generation of Glasgows firmly settled in Kilmarnock. 

On 17 September 1788, John married Margaret (Wyllie) Glasgow in Kilmarnock.

They had nine known children, all christened in Kilmarnock parish:

== Biography ==

John Glasgow was born 19 April 1755 in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, and christened there on 23 April 1755, the son of [[Glasgow-1929|Hugh Glasgow]] and [[McCachen-1|Margaret McCachen]] (recorded as Margtt. McKechny).<ref>''Scotland, Births and Baptisms, 1564–1950,'' Glasgow, Lanarkshire, John Glasgow, 19 Apr 1755; FamilySearch (accessed 21 Sep 2025) [https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:VRS2-MNP ARK:VRS2-MNP].</ref>  

John’s father Hugh was baptised in Kilwinning in 1710 and later migrated to Kilmarnock, where his first child in that parish, [[Glasgow-3468|Ann (Glasgow) Douglas]], was born in 1749. This places John as part of the first generation of Glasgows firmly settled in Kilmarnock.  

On 17 September 1788, John married [[Wyllie-1278|Margaret (Wyllie) Glasgow]] in Kilmarnock.<ref>''Scotland, Marriages, 1561–1910,'' Kilmarnock OPR, John Glasgow and Margaret Wyllie, 17 Sep 1788; FamilySearch (accessed 21 Sep 2025) [https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XT27-BQ5 ARK:XT27-BQ5].</ref> They had nine known children, all christened in Kilmarnock parish:
