Record Linkage; Historical GIS; Name Standardization for Record Linkage; Name Frequency and Record Linkage
I joined the MPC in 2006 and soon after started working full-time on the first historical record linkage project at the Center. Since then I have become knowledgable about all aspects of record linkage. I am currently linking records for Great Britain and Canada for the North Atlantic Population Project. I also currently work on the 1960 Data Restoration Project primarily handling data allocation and standardization.
Other projects I have served while at the MPC are IPUMS-USA and the Current Population Survey (CPS). Through all of my project work I have developed expertise in large-scale data handling, infrastructure, allocation and statistical analysis. My scholarly interests include all aspects of Historical Record Linkage and Historical GIS.
