The project Linking Historical Lives (LHL) created a longitudinal database named Linked Lives with the life courses of 3.321 pairs of siblings born in the Netherlands between 1850 and 1922, whose lives cover the period of 1850 until today. Point of departure is the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN) of which Research Persons were complemented with the life course data of a brother or a sister. The HSN includes data on the migration trajectories, occupational histories, the family of origin, and the religion of individuals (release name: HSN release LHL 2013.01).
