Interviewer instructions
Do you believe you have the following ancestry?

Ancestry is understood as the ethnic-racial origin that corresponds to a social construction based on the phonotypical differences of people.

You should formulate the question just as it is written and read each option marking "yes" or "no" according to the informant's response.

The criterion for the response is the auto-identification of the people with one or more of the following options:

African or black
Asian or yellow (amarilla)
White
Indigenous
Other


If the informant declares the option "other" you must specify the corresponding ancestry.

The nationality of the ancestors is not considered ancestry. So that you should not register Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian, etc.


Which one do you consider the principal ancestry?

If the informant has declared more than one ancestry, consult him/her and record which of the ones signaled is considered primary. It can happen that the informant declares not having a "principal one". In the case you should record the option "None (there is no principal ancestry)".
