Can anyone explain and give examples of sentences of the following forms using having?

having + past participle (having lived)
having been + past participle(having been lived)
having been + verb plus ing(having been living)

Thanks a lot for your great help! :)

Well, to me, the difference is as follows:

Ex. 1. Having lived in Siberia for more than 12 months, I can tell you that the winter was the worst.

Here, I would guess the guy has already returned from Siberia.

Ex. 3. Having been living in Siberia for more than 12 months, I can tell you I can't wait to get back home.

In this case, I would figure the guy is still in Siberia.

Now, Ex. 2. seems like a horse of a different color. It would be the passive, I think. Like this:

This house can stand every kind of party, having been lived in by the Browns for 6 weeks.

But, again, this is only my opinion, though I'm pretty sure I've not made a mistake. But let's wait for others to express their opinions.
