Question 12. What is the name and surname of every person who lodged here last night, beginning with the head?

[Below the text is an illegible form]

Remember that the Census is de facto, that is to say, the people in the place where they were lodged the night before the day of the Census should be enumerated, whether they have their habitual residence there or not.

In a private household, it should be clarified that the head of household should be named first.
Head of the private household: For the Census it is assumed that each private household has a head, who is defined as the person recognized as such by the rest of the members of the household.

In each household you should enumerate:
  • All people who were lodged or slept in the dwelling the night before the day of the Census, even if that are not present at the moment that you arrive at this household.
  • People who, being absent this night from the household for reasons of work, who returned or will return during the day of the Census, for example: night watchmen, doctors, nurses on duty, police, etc.
  • All children born before zero hour the day of the Census and those who died after this hour, always who are lodged or have been lodged the night before the day of the Census. If they were born or died in hospitals or clinics they will be enumerated in these places.


The list of the boxes should be completed, writing the name and surname of all the people who should be enumerated in this household, following the order indicated in the questionnaire, giving them a correlate number and indicating also their relationship with [the person] who was registered in the first place as the head of household.

If -- by absence -- the head of private household is not enumerated in this household, another adult member of the household should be declared in their place. In these cases, the relation of relationship of the other members will be established with respect to the replacement.

If it is a collective household, leave blank the column meant for "Relation of relationship".

The space considered in the questionnaire is for six people. So if more than six exists, use a second questionnaire repeating the order number of the dwelling, number of the household within the dwelling and the geographic identification. In this case, do not forget to fill in the box that indicates "Continued" found in the upper right corner of page 1 of the Census questionnaire.
