Question 5: Position in household
Where several families form one household, the correct relationship to the head of household needs to be given.

If the father is the head of household then the wife of his son must enter daughter-in-law and not wife
If the son is the head-of-household, then she enters wife. If the husband is the head-of-household, then his wife should mark the field "spouse of head of household" and not write in "mother".
Adopted or step children of the head of household are marked as "son/daughter".
For foster children, "foster children" should be written in.
