"Census family" is understood to be the group of persons who share the same home and food, forming a family unit. The "census family" can have the following members: the person considered Head, the wife, the married children with their spouses and children, other relatives, guests, and servants.
Persons who live alone in the household and renters who do not share the food with other groups should be considered as separate family groups comprised of one or more persons.
Non-family groups. The persons who live in a community of non-relatives, such as military, hospitals, institutions, schools, convents, etc., should be considered as non-family groups. When you take the census of these groups, you should write the name of the Head or Director of the group and then the rest of the persons according to their category.
