Abstract: This document details the availability of intergenerational linkages (that is, linkages between individuals and their mothers and/or fathers) between the 2005-2018 American Community Survey (ACS) and the 2000 Long-Form Census. A key limitation of the ACS is a lack of family background information for individuals who have left their parents. The linkages formed and reported here allow this limitation to be addressed, in particular for the birth cohorts of 1982 through 1999. In particular, the rich vector of demographic and socioeconomic questions asked in the long-form Census enable us to view background information for young adults in the ACS that would otherwise be entirely unavailable, making this a potentially promising and accessible new resource for researchers interested in studying intergenerational mobility among Millennial cohorts.
