Abstract
Probabilistic linkage techniques allowed the creation of a high-quality linked database from crude registry data. The developed procedures are generally applicable in linkage of health data with partially identifying information. They provide useful source date even if cohorts are only partly overlapping and if within the cohort, multiple entities and twins exist.
