Interviewer instructions
89. <span class="em">Country or place of birth</span>. If the person was born in Canada the name of the province or territory in which born should be given in column 11. The names of the provinces and territories will be denoted by abbreviations. See Instruction No. 37.</p>
<p>90. <span class="em">If born out of Canada</span>. If the person was born outside of Canada the enumerator will enter the name of the country (not city, town or state) in which he or she was born.</p>
<p>91. <span class="em">If born in British Islands</span>. Instead of Great Britain or British Isles, the particular country should be given, as England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Hebrides, Orkneys, Shetlands, etc.</p>
<p>92. <span class="em">If born in Austria-Hungary</span>. In the case of persons born in the double kingdom of Austria-Hungary care should be taken to give the particular provinces, as Austria, Tyrol, Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, Galicia, Bukovinia, Dalmatia, Hungary, Transylvania, Croatia, Sclavonia, etc.</p>
<p>93. <span class="em">If born in Poland, Lithuania or Finland</span>. In the case of persons who say they were born in Poland, which is no longer an independent country, inquiry should be made whether the birthplace was in what is now known as German Poland, or Austrian Poland, or Russian Poland, and the answer should be written accordingly as Germany (Pol.), Austria (Pol.), or Russia (Pol.). Similarly for persons born in what was formerly Lithuania, the answer should be written Russia (Lith.) or Germany (Lith.), and not simply Russia or Germany as the case may be 'Finland' and not 'Russia' should be written for a person born in Finland.</p>
<p>94. <span class="em">If born in Turkey</span>. If the birthplace given is Turkey, the enumerator should ask whether European or Asiatic Turkey, and write Turkey (E.) or Turkey (A.) accordingly.</p>
<p>95. <span class="em">Language not evidence of birthplace</span>. The language spoken should not be relied upon to determine birthplace. This is especially true of the German language, for over one-third of the Austrians and nearly three-fourths of the Swiss speak German.</p>
<p>96. <span class="em">If born at sea</span>. If the person was born 'at sea' his birthplace should be so recorded.</p>
<p>97. <span class="em">Write birthplace in full</span>. To prevent errors and to facilitate the work of compilation in the Census Office, the names of the place of birth of persons born out of Canada must be written in full.
<p>90. <span class="em">If born out of Canada</span>. If the person was born outside of Canada the enumerator will enter the name of the country (not city, town or state) in which he or she was born.</p>
