Question 10

In which province and district (sub-province) were you born?

In all cases give the Province and District of birth. If the person was born here give this province and district. If the person was born elsewhere give that province and district.
If born outside Papua New Guinea give the country of birth only in the space for Province.

[pg.64]

C.G. stands for Community Governments. These are established in East New Britain and North Solomons Provinces only.

If people come from these provinces, ask them in which Community Government area they were born in, instead of the District (Sub-Province). If they don't know this ask for the old District's name. They may know this. These are:

East New Britain
North Solomons
Rabaul
Kieta
Kokopo
Buin
Pomio
Buka

A list of provinces and districts is given in the front of the Notable Events Books. Use this if you are not clear on a District or in which District a patrol post is situated.
If a mother went to another town or to a district and gave birth to a baby and returned soon after the birth to her own place where she had been living permanently, write that the child was born in the mother's permanent town or District. We ignore this short visit to hospital.
