117. 'Is this person's father/mother alive?'

118. Use code 1 and 2 for the person's biological father and mother. Foster parents or other relatives who may have adopted the person should not be considered as the father or mother of the person.

119. In some cases, a child's father may not be married or living with the mother. The mother might report that she does not know whether the father of her child is alive or dead, in which case you should use code 3 for 'not-known'.
