Question 7: Year of birth/age
You have to ask this question although the answer is printed on the questionnaires with the population register data. We ask this question in the census since occasionally, the register data is not accurate. The pre-printed number is supporting information only.
7a. Write the year of birth in four boxes.
7b. If only the age is known, write it in the two right-hand side boxes, and in the remaining two boxes write zeros.
7c. If only the Hebrew year is known, you have to use the conversion table from Hebrew to civilian (Gregorian) year, that you can find on the last page of the enumerator's report book.
7d. If the year of birth or the age are unknown, and the questionnaire has the register's data, copy the preprinted data from the upper part of the questionnaire, after finding out if the printed year (of birth) matches approximately the age of the member of the household.
7e. In a rare case, where year of birth and age are unknown, and there is no questionnaire with register data for that person, or the preprinted register data does not match with the person's real age, try to estimate the age with the help of the family members.
Question 8: Month of birth
8a. Write down the civilian (Gregorian) month number, as in the following example:
[The original form includes an illustration of: October as 10; February as 2; January as1]
The months' numbers are written in parentheses in the conversion table from Hebrew to civilian (Gregorian) month on the back cover of the enumerator's report book.
8b. If only the Hebrew month is known, use the conversion table from Hebrew to civilian (Gregorian) month in the enumerator's report book.
8c. If the month of birth is unknown, leave these boxes empty.
