I -- General characteristics -- all persons




Question No. 7 is: "In what locality or place did you begin living habitually when you were born?"

With this question we look to get information about the locality or place that constituted the first habitual residence of a person being enumerated.

To register information corresponding to this question, follow the same criteria as for No. 6, insisting on getting the name of the locality or place. If a person does not know the name, write this down in observations.

[An example has been omitted]

In the case of people born abroad, you should write down the country and ask "In what year did you arrive in Uruguay in order to reside in it?"
