Description This crosswalk consists of individuals matched between the 1900 and 1920 complete-count US Censuses. Within the crosswalk, users have the option to select the linking method with which these matches were created. This version of the crosswalk contains links made by the ABE-exact (conservative and standard) method, the ABE-NYSIIS (conservative and standard) method and the ABE-NYSIIS (conservative and standard) method where race is used as a matching variable. This crosswalk also includes Census Tree Links created by Joseph Price, Kasey Buckles and Mark Clement at the Brigham Young University (BYU) Record Linking Lab. More detail on these links can be found in the census_tree_links_BYU_readme. For any chosen method, users can merge into this crosswalk a wide set of individual- and household-level variables provided publicly by IPUMS, thereby creating a historical longitudinal dataset for analysis.
