Abstract
In this article we report record-linkage methods used to construct the African American Matched Records Sample (AAMRS).... We also identify those characteristics that contributed to successful linkage and draw lessons for future linkage efforts.... Our study was designed to link death certificates from 1980 and 1985 to early-life census records for the same individuals to assess the accuracy of age reporting on death certificates and improve mortality estimates for older African Americans.
