This paper overviews the research opportunities made possible by a NIA-funded
program project, Early Indicators, Intergenerational Processes, and Aging. Data
collection began almost three decades ago on 40,000 soldiers from the Union Army
in the US Civil War. The sample contains extensive demographic, economic, and
medical data from childhood to death. In recent years, a large sample of
African-American soldiers and an oversampling of soldiers from major US cities
have been added. Hundreds of historical maps containing public health data have
been geocoded to place soldiers and their family members in a geospatial context.
With newly granted funding, thousands of veterans will be linked to the
demographic information available from the census and vital records of their
children.
