With the information of relation in a family, it would be helpful to enumerate and can make statistical information about the family combination. Identify the relationship of the person to be enumerated with the household head. While writing the relationship, if the person is the main person of the family, circle the reference number 1, household head, if the person is husband or wife of the head, then circle the reference 2. In this way, ask each enumerated person about his/her relation with the head and circle the appropriate reference of the relatives. If the person is not a relative and is a person working in wage (servant, cook, etc.), circle the domestic worker reference 9. If the person falls under other relationship other than the stated ones in the questionnaire, circle the reference 10 and specify the relation (e.g. brother, sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandparents, nephew-niece, maternal uncle-aunt, etc.). If the person is not relative of head, circle the reference 10 and specify it as "no relative".
