Age

Columns 9 and 10. In column 9, [P. 17] write the number of years attained for those who are older than 1 year. In column 10 write the number of months for someone less than one year old. For those younger than one month, write a (0) in column 10. If one column is filled out, the other should not be filled out. The enumerator should try to obtain the correct age for each person enumerated. When a person does not know their age, the enumerator will ask them relevant questions in order to estimate the age correctly, for example, they will ask them if they remember, and what age they had approximately, when a notable act occurred, especially related with the place in which they are enumerated.
