Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
These files include data and code used to create tables and
figures for "Combining Family History and Machine Learning to Link
Historical Records." This was published as an NBER Working Paper (#26227)
and is in the review process at an academic journal. We are seeking permission
to share our full dataset that we obtained from FamilySearch. We have included
the truth set that we use to train our model along with the machine learning
code we use to link records using this truth set. Our truth set includes histid
pairs between the different census records, which can be combined with the
restricted versions of the full-count census records that are distributed
through the University of Minnesota.
