Q. 15 Nationality


62. The enumerator has the obligation to assure all conditions, in order that each person should declare freely, without any constraint, the nationality to which they belong.

For children below 14 years of age, the nationality will be that of their parents; if the parents are of different nationalities, record the one declared by the parents for their children. For persons who are deaf, dumb, or mentally ill, record the statements of those who are living together with these persons.

Nationality should not be confused with mother tongue. Coincidence may exist, or not.

For persons declaring they belong to the Romanian nationality, mark an x in the right side box for code 10.

For persons declaring they belong to a nationality other than Romanian, record in the space provided the nationality as it was declared. The registration will be done exactly as it appears on the compilation form CN (see paragraph 102), but, nevertheless, also record the names of ethnic groups as is the case, such as: istroroman (Istroromanian), vlah (Romanian from Yugoslavia), ceangau, gagauz, ungur (Hungarian), neamt (German), hutul (Ukrainian) malorus (Russian), velicorus (Russian), crasovean, izraelit (Jew), toth (Slovak), - and respectively the other ethnics of European countries or other Continents (for example: Albanian, Austrian, Belgian, French, Italian, Spanish, Cuban, Argentinean, Egyptian, Algerian, Syrian, Lebanese, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean etc.), observing strictly the enumerated person's declaration.

The enumerator will not code nationality, this operation being the duty of the chief enumerator.
