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.

Research Notes
In his will he mentions daughter Jane living with him, and the will was witnessed by David Glasgow of Beltonanean, and John Henry of Drumnamalta.. On his death record the witness is "David Glasgow, Montober" which is supposed to be the witness's his place of residence. So either he put the wrong place (I have seen that before) or possibly not the right parents?

He appears in the 1860 Griffith's Valuation for Tyrone, as William Glasgow at Montober. He wasn't in the 1827 tithe applotment book; that had only David and John at Montober.

There was a different William Glasgow who also married a Mary Henry in 1846, see William Glasgow (abt.1824-). I do not believe these two people are the same because:
* That William gave his age as 22 , Bachelor on the 1846 marriage record.
* This William has children starting from 1827.

In his will he mentions daughter Jane living with him, and the will was witnessed by [[Glasgow-692|David Glasgow]] of Beltonanean, and John Henry of Drumnamalta..  On his death record the witness is "David Glasgow, Montober" which is supposed to be the witness's his place of residence. So either he put the wrong place (I have seen that before) or possibly not the right parents?

There was a different William Glasgow who also married a Mary Henry in 1846, see [[Glasgow-1737|William Glasgow (abt.1824-)]].  I do not believe these two people are the same because:
