10. Question 3

3. Date of Birth

Day _ _
Month _ _
Year _ _ _ _



Date of birth includes the year of birth, month and day.

[p. 27]

10.1 Year of birth

Write the Gregorian year of birth of a person, like: 1937, 1992. You may encounter cases in which the Gregorian year of birth is unknown, but the age or the Hebrew date of birth is known. For these cases use tables g and i in the enumerator's report book (On the inner side of the back cover).

a. The age is known

By using table g you will be able to determine the year of birth.

a1. If the Gregorian month of birth is known, you can find the year of birth according to the age and the month.


Examples:


-- A 52 year old was born on February: His year of birth is 1943.
-- A 52 year old was born on December: His year of birth is 1942.


a2. If the month of birth is unknown, look for the age in table g and write the later Gregorian year of the listed two.


Example: A 42 year old woman whose month of birth is unknown: Write 1950. (1949 and 1950 are the options in the table,).


b. The Hebrew date of birth is known

By using table i you will be able to determine the year of birth.

b1. If the year and the month of birth are known, find the Gregorian year.


Example: [An example of Hebrew date translated to 1933]



b2. If the Hebrew year of birth is known but the month is not, write the later Gregorian year of the possible two.


Example: [An example of Hebrew date translated to 1943] (1942 and 1943 are the options in the table).


If the age in unknown and the Hebrew year of birth is unknown: Do not answer this question. Leave the boxes empty.

10.2 Month of birth

Month of birth is needed for determining the exact age of a person, and to know who are 15 years old and over who have to fill-in Part C of the long-form questionnaire. Those who were born before November 4th 1980 (including), will be considered 15 year old and over and will fill-in Part C. Those who are younger will not fill it in.

Write the number of the month in two digits: January will be written as 01, February as 02 etc.
If the Gregorian month of birth is unknown but the Hebrew month is: Use table h in the enumerator's report book -- "Conversion of Hebrew month to Gregorian month".

If the Hebrew month of birth is also unknown, do not answer the question. Leave the boxes [of the month] empty.

[p. 28]

10.3 Day of birth

If the day of the month of birth is unknown, leave the boxes empty.
If the day in the Hebrew month is written (For example: [Hebrew letters]) -- it is not possible to convert it. If the Hebrew day is written with pencil, erase it with an eraser and leave the boxes empty. If it is written with a pen, cross it with several lines.
