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 William Glasgow was born around 1855, in "Old Cowit," County Cork, Ireland, to Alexander Glasgow and Ellen Smith. His parents were originally from Barony, Lanark, Scotland, where they had at least two children: Janet, born circa April 1829, and William James, born on May 28, 1831.
  • William married Dora Shaw, further solidifying his ties to the Shaw family and the community in New Zealand.
  • Sadly, William passed away in 1886 at the age of 54 in Suburban North, Nelson, New Zealand. His death is documented in the "New Zealand, Archives New Zealand, Probate Records, 1843-1998" and the New Zealand Births Deaths and Marriages Online with the Death Registration number: 1886/5271.

  • It is noted that William was the junior son of the late Alexander Glasgow, a merchant from Tullyveagh, Tyrone, who died on November 17, 1866, at Cloghog. This piece of information connects William to the broader Glasgow family history, highlighting the family's origins and movements. Sources

Biography
William Glasgow was born around 1855, in "Old Cowit," County Cork, Ireland, to Alexander Glasgow and Ellen Smith. His parents were originally from Barony, Lanark, Scotland, where they had at least two children: Janet, born circa April 1829, and William James, born on May 28, 1831.

In search of new opportunities, William settled in Suburban North, near Nelson, New Zealand. He became an indentured servant through an agreement made on July 30, 1855. This indenture involved several parties: his father, Alexander Glasgow; William himself; Bernard Robert Shaw; William's future wife, Dora Shaw (née Shaw); Edward Eyre Newenham; and Eyre Massey Shaw.

William married Dora Shaw, further solidifying his ties to the Shaw family and the community in New Zealand.

Sadly, William passed away in 1886 at the age of 54 in Suburban North, Nelson, New Zealand. His death is documented in the "New Zealand, Archives New Zealand, Probate Records, 1843-1998" and the New Zealand Births Deaths and Marriages Online with the Death Registration number: 1886/5271.

It is noted that William was the junior son of the late Alexander Glasgow, a merchant from Tullyveagh, Tyrone, who died on November 17, 1866, at Cloghog. This piece of information connects William to the broader Glasgow family history, highlighting the family's origins and movements.
