Higher-signal leadReview carefullyWeak lead

No named children are recoverable, so child-naming analysis cannot be run.

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.

 Company A Roster

 Asa H. Glasgow was born in Pittsylvania, Virginia on November 17, 1820.
On December 21, 1846, he married Jane Caroline Gardner in Pittsylvania.
In 1850 the couple is shown in the census of Pittsylvania. no children noted.
In 1860 in Laurel Grove, Pittsylvania, the couple is shown with a daughter:
Asa H Glascoe M 38 Virginia
Jane C Glascoe F 32 Virginia
#Susan A Glascoe F 9 Virginia
also in home: Nancy H Lewis F 10 Virginia

 Asa fought with the CSA in the Civil War. He was in Company A of the 38th Virginia Infantry, enlisting in 1864. He may have been in another unit prior to that.

 Asa survived, and through the 1880 census of Dan River, Pittsylvania, no other children were noted. Apparently his mother was living with he and Jane in 1870:
Asa H Glasgow M 49 Virginia
Jane C Glasgow F 42 Virginia

Susan A Glasgow F 72 Virginia
Albert Jones M 8 Virginia

 Wife Jane Catherine passed away prior to 1892, as the 1900 census of Seneca, Campbell, Virginia shows Asa remarried to Lucy J unknown, and the record notes married about 1892.

Asa H. Glasgow passed away on December 25, 1903, likely in Seneca, but was buried in Pittsylvania, Virginia.
