The genealogical sample design of the PSID implies that for many sample members their parents, grandparents, and siblings are also sample members. This design feature supports unique analyses of the inter- and intra-generational connections within families. To make it easier to create data extracts that include information on parents, grandparents, and siblings of the focal person, we have created the Family Identification Mapping System - FIMS.

To learn how to use FIMS, you can review tutorial #6 and material on the right.
