This paper describes the process of building complete histories on marital events and school enrollment from data contained within the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth – 1979 cohort. The NLSY surveys ask respondents with missing interviews to provide retrospective data on a variety of variables, but as of yet no one has used the available data to backfill the data and construct more complete event histories. Thus, this paper includes descriptions of the constructor programs, created variables, limitations, and information on where to find the completed set.
