Go directly to the family studies, compare an identity, or follow the evidence behind an unresolved link.
The main open questions across the maintained family studies and free-space research. Proposed identities and family links remain separate from documented relationships.
c.1811 · The nearest questionWho were Alexander of Lisnagaver's parents?
Follow the evidence →Each trail records what is known and what remains unproved.
Can the Bible John be identified with the Inishrush householder, and who were his parents?
c.1656 · Open questionWhich Scottish William became the ancestor remembered in the Tyrone tradition?
Identity, parentage and the missing links between documented households.
Explore the evidence-led research groups →Which existing child profiles match the people named in Robert Glasgow’s trust and succession papers?
UCL’s published archival research reports children John and Emilia and identifies Anne as his natural daughter. This challenges the older childlessness account. The original trust, distinct Emilia/Amelia identities and suggested relationships in the enslaved household still need examination.
Read the maintained research →Do the Stirling, alias-Smith and Saltmarket records describe the same John, and how does William fit?
The proposed identities remain possible; the Saltmarket-to-William succession is a separate probable connection. Neither establishes the entire exported early pedigree.
Read the maintained research →How do the documented Corsankell households connect to the Glasgow burgh family?
The proposed identification of Robert of Kilbride with the burgh fisher is an important test. Property succession and associates must establish the exact bridge; nearby Calder records do not establish it.
Read the maintained research →Is the Kilwinning John the minister of Kilbirnie, and who were his parents?
The possible duplicate and the proposed earlier family connection require the marriage, baptism and church appointment records. A shared name is not enough.
Read the maintained research →Can the seventeenth-century founder records be connected to the later secure Kilwaughter family?
The adjacent James and John households support probable close kinship. The missing bridge from the early Larne and Kilwaughter occurrences to the later family, and its Scottish origin, remains open.
Read the maintained research →How do the 1740 and 1766 households map to the later named families?
The records establish local occurrences, not all the inherited parent links. Conflicting attachments and place identifications need resolving; Kildress must not be folded into Derryloran without evidence.
Read the maintained research →Where does a documented male Kilwaughter line sit among the tested paternal branches?
A documented tester chain can connect the genetic comparison to a particular family. Shared SNPs can locate a branch, but cannot name the missing ancestor.
