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 Samuel William Glasgow was born 29 May 1831 in County Armagh, Ireland (date reported in a family Bible source on his FamilySearch profile). Legacy NFS user-submitted source citing a family Bible: birth 29 May 1831, Armagh; attached on FamilySearch profile K26R-9PZ. He lived in the Drumgreenagh area of Derrynoose parish, Armagh, and formed a family there in the 1870s.
  • Samuel married Maria Gardiner/Gardner (marriage not yet located in the civil indexes; the couple is identified as parents on multiple birth registrations). Their known children were born in Drumgreenagh/Keady/Armagh registrations between 1871 and 1880 (see Children, below). "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," birth of John Glasgow, 12 Apr 1871, Drumgreenagh, Armagh; parents Samuel Glasgow & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGYW-39GR "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," birth of Samuel David Glasgow, 18 Mar 1872, Drumgath/Newry (Armagh reg.); parents Samuel David Glasgow & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGY7-2XDS "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," birth of Matilda Glasgow, 12 Apr 1873, Drumgreenagh, Armagh; parents Samuel & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPJX-CFJ7 "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," birth of Selina Elizabeth Glasgow, 22 Aug 1875, Drumgreenagh, Armagh; parents Samuel & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QGY7-2X7N "Ireland, Births & Baptisms, 1620–1881," birth of James William Glasgow, 26 Apr 1878, Drumgreenagh, Armagh; parents Samuel & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FPTD-BM7 "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," birth of Emily Glasgow, 11 May 1880, Armagh reg.; parents Samuel & Maria (Gardiner) Glasgow; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:QPL2-4DNY
  • Samuel died in County Armagh in the first quarter of 1896 (registered age 64).

    • Emily Glasgow, b. 11 May 1880, Armagh reg. Residence Multiple children’s birth registrations place the family in Drumgreenagh townland, Derrynoose (Keady registration district), County Armagh, in the 1870s–1880s. Parentage Samuel is currently linked as a son of John Glasgow (~1794–1849) of Drumgreenagh on the working tree. While the geographic and onomastic evidence fits (same townland; repeated use of given names), no direct record naming Samuel’s father has yet been located. A 23 Mar 1870 index entry associates the names Samuel Glasgow and John Glasgow, but the underlying image/context has not been reviewed to confirm that this is a father–son relationship (could be witness or informant). "Ireland, Civil Registration, 1845–1913," index entry referencing Samuel Glasgow & John Glasgow, 23 Mar 1870; FamilySearch ARK: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:C9RV-Y5T2 Until a marriage record, church baptism, deed, or probate explicitly names Samuel’s father, keep the connection to John as uncertain. Death & Probate
    • Death registered Q1 1896, Armagh, age 64 (b. c.1831/2). See civil registration index citation above.
    • Probate/administration dated 8 Mar 1896 at Armagh; beneficiaries Maria Glasgow and Ephriam Hughes. Note: probate date is not always the date of death; consult the calendar entry/image for exact wording. See Calendar of Wills citation above. Research Notes
    • Next steps for parentage: Search for Samuel’s marriage to Maria Gardiner (c. 1869–1871) in Armagh/Keady districts; Church of Ireland/Presbyterian registers for Derrynoose/Keady; PRONI Tithe Applotment Books (1820s–1830s), Freeholders, and Valuation Revision Books for Glasgow holdings in Drumgreenagh; look for a deed or will mentioning Samuel as son of John.
    • U.S. leads: Adult children Samuel David (m. Boston 1900) and Matilda (m. Manhattan 1896) generated later U.S. records that re-state parents’ names; gather full certificates for more detail.
    • Not to be confused with Samuel Glasgow (1841-1916), the son of John Glasgow (1813-) and Elizabeth (Fee) Glasgow (1817-) Sources
