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.

Latest case researchThe current conclusion from the durable research case file.Updated
Current conclusion
Rosanna is named with an older Alexander in a 2007 descendant account as the parent of Thomas Glasgow of Lisnagaver. No contemporary record establishes her maiden surname, birth, marriage, death, or all three proposed children. She is a useful uncertain working mother, but her live birth year 1790 is impossible if Daniel, born about 1795/96, remains her son. Use born before about 1780, uncertain, or leave the birth blank.

| 2007 Genes Reunited descendant account | Names Alexander and Rosanna as parents of Thomas of Lisnagaver and reports Rosanna's death about 23 October 1822. | Late descendant testimony; useful but not contemporary proof. |
| Daniel Glasgow's civil death and original will | Daniel was born about 1795/96 and directly called Thomas his brother. | Makes a 1790-born mother impossible; proves Daniel-Thomas siblinghood, not Rosanna's maternity. |
| Kilrea clockmaker evidence | Daniel Glasgow and James Shaw were both clockmakers in the district. | Does not prove Rosanna's surname was Shaw or that James was her brother. |
