Thank you for your explanation! I understand this. I am facing two questions following your explanation:

(1) For the PR dataset, you mention "First, the woman on line 2, age 45, has three grown children in the household: a son age 25 on line 3, whose wife age 20 is on line 4, a son on age 24 on line 7, and a daughter age 30 on line 8. I see that the ages for lines 7 and 8 in the PR file do not agree with the ages for lines 7 and 8 in the BR file, but this does not imply a DP error." I am unable to understand how one can tell , for example , the wife(age 20) of the son is on line 4 since the variable hv101 only tells the relationship of the person to the head of the household and not within household members.

(2) For India, the datasets (birth recodes) that I have access to are IABR74FL.dta (2015-2016) and IABR7BDT (the recently released 2019-2021) . However, I do not have access to the dataset that you have used to demonstrate the example that is IABR7AFL.DTA
