Description:
BPL indicates the person's state or foreign country of birth. Each census had to grapple with shifting political boundaries and an increasingly diverse population that required more inclusive classification schemes in later years.
The BPL general code describes places available in multiple years. The first digit of BPL more or less corresponds to continents. The detailed code notes places not available over a number of years, or places that are strictly subsets of other specified countries. (Many detailed codes relate to 1980 and 1990 codes; years in which the level of geographic detail reached new heights.)
Users might also examine other IPUMS variables dealing with birthplaces, ancestry, and language to determine which variables are most useful for their purposes (MBPL, FBPL, MTONGUE, MMTONGUE, and FMTONGUE).

Factors affecting persons born in the United States:
Boundaries of some U.S. territories and states changed over the 140 years covered by the IPUMS. Beginning in 1900, the censuses tried to deal with this problem in one way or another, but it is not always clear how accurately enumerators and respondents were able and/or willing to follow census instructions.
In 1910, native-born Americans were to follow contemporary boundaries when reporting the state, territory, or U.S. possession in which they were born. -
Factors affecting persons born outside the United States:
Boundaries of several foreign countries changed over the 140 years covered by the IPUMS, as did the detail with which the census instructed enumerators and/or respondents to report birthplaces. While we can explain how each census dealt with this problem in general, users must be aware of particular shifts affecting the immigrant groups they study. Central and Eastern Europe around the time of the World Wars poses some special difficulties. For some countries and years, the census gave specific instructions, but for others enumerators and respondents were free to report their birthplaces as they saw fit. Furthermore, it is not always clear how well enumerators and/or respondents followed census instructions. -
1910 birthplace instructions:
In 1910, as in 1880 and 1900, enumerators were to distinguish between the various parts of Great Britain and to separate Finland from Russia. They were also to separate Austria and Hungary but, unlike the 1900 instructions, those for 1910 made no mention of Bohemia. 1910 also differed from 1900 in that no mention was made of the areas of Poland or the French-English Canadian distinction, while it asked enumerators to make a new distinction between Turkey in Europe and Turkey in Asia. Users who examine the 1910 frequencies will find that, as in previous years, some enumerators or respondents gave answers without heed to these instructions.
-
Differences in the variable BPL between the 1910 PUMS and the Hispanic Oversample:
The making of the various PUMS preserved only as much detail as they thought would be useful to potential users. In the 1910 PUMS, all South American countries were collapsed into the category "South America;" Canadian birthplaces were also all grouped together.
The Hispanic Oversample of the 1910 Census recorded all birthplace information shown on the enumerator sheets and preserved it in the BPL detail codes shown in the second two digits.

Description:
CITIZEN gives the citizenship status of foreign-born respondents.
Until 1922, United States law held that foreign-born children under age 21 and foreign-born married women had the same citizenship status as their fathers/husbands. Thus, though in 1910 citizenship status was asked only for foreign-born men age 21 and over, users can determine it for their co-resident wives and children as well: all wives and children of native-born or naturalized husbands were considered citizens regardless of their birthplace. All other foreign-born wives and children were non-citizens, while all native-born wives and children were citizens.
After 1922, foreign-born women had to go through the naturalization process themselves in order to obtain citizenship. Foreign-born children under age 18 became naturalized upon the naturalization of either parent.

(Researchers who are interested in the length of time spent in the United States, as opposed to the year of immigration, should see the variable YRSINUSA.)

MTONGUE - P 92-93 General
P 92-95 Detailed
Mother tongue
Availability:
| 1910 | Hispanic |
|---|---|
| X | X |
Universe: All foreign-born persons.
Description:
MTONGUE indicates the respondent's mother tongue. In 1910 this was asked only of foreign-born persons and mother tongue meant the language spoken in the home prior to immigration.
The mother tongue(s) of the respondent's foreign-born parents are available in the variables MMTONGUE and FMTONGUE. All of the language variables (MTONGUE, MMTONGUE, FMTONGUE, and LANGUAGE) follow the same coding scheme (see the discussion section of LANGUAGE).
Some enumerators in 1910 recorded the mother tongue of non-English-speaking native-born persons, even though they were instructed not to. The 1910 PUMS (and thus the IPUMS) preserves these responses.
In 1910, some enumerators entered countries instead of mother tongues. In cases where the country entered was home to only one major language, the 1910 PUMS creators entered that language as the person's mother tongue. In other cases, they checked the person's response for "language spoken." If this was a non-English language and was known to be spoken in the country entered under "mother tongue," the PUMS staff made "mother tongue" match "language spoken." Otherwise, mother tongue was coded "unknown" and subsequently imputed.

Mother's mother tongue
Availability:

Universe: All respondents with foreign-born mothers.
Description:
MMTONGUE indicates the mother tongue of the respondent's mother if the respondent's mother was foreign-born. Mother tongue meant the primary language spoken at home in the home country (not the United States).
The mother tongues of the respondent's foreign-born father are available in the variable FMTONGUE. Further mother tongue and/or language information is available in the variables MTONGUE (Respondent's own mother tongue) and LANGUAGE. All of the language variables (MTONGUE, MMTONGUE, FMTONGUE, and LANGUAGE) follow the same coding scheme (see the discussion section of LANGUAGE).
While the census set out to record the respondent's mother's mother tongue only if the mother was foreign-born, in 1910 some enumerators recorded the mother tongue of non-English-speaking respondent's native-born mother, even though they were instructed not to do so. The 1910 PUMS (and thus the IPUMS) preserves these responses, so users who wish to study only foreign-born mothers will have to exclude persons with native-born mothers from their research universe.
Some 1910 enumerators entered countries instead of mother tongues. In cases where the country entered was home to only one major language, the 1910 PUMS creators entered that language as the mother's mother tongue. In other cases, they checked the person's response for "language spoken." If this was a non-English language and was known to be spoken in the country entered under "mother's mother tongue," the PUMS staff made "mother's mother tongue" match "language spoken." Otherwise, mother's mother tongue was coded "unknown" and imputed.
In 1910 mother's mother tongue was to be asked of people whose mothers were born in the outlying territories of the United States (Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Guam, American Samoa, the Panama Canal Zone, and the U.S. Virgin Islands).

Language spoken

Universe: All persons age 10 and over.
Description:
In 1910, the census question upon which LANGUAGE is based aimed primarily to identify English speakers. All persons able to speak English were to respond "English," even if they usually spoke another language. (The census did not indicate how well a person had to speak English in order to be considered "able to speak English.") A response other than English, therefore, means the person could not speak English. If a non-English-speaking respondent spoke more than one language, he/she was to respond with his/her mother tongue.
Flags: QLANGUAG.
Other Language Variables:
The variable MTONGUE yields mother tongue information. The mother tongues of respondent's foreign-born parents are available in the IPUMS variables MMTONGUE (Mother's mother tongue) and FMTONGUE (Father's mother tongue).
Coding Scheme for MTONGUE, MMTONGUE, FMTONGUE, and LANGUAGE:
There are four variables that yield language information for 1910. These are:
- MTONGUE (Mother tongue),
- MMTONGUE (Mother's mother tongue),
- FMTONGUE (Father's mother tongue), and
- LANGUAGE (Language spoken).
All four variables share the same four-digit coding scheme. The codes consist of a two-digit general code followed by a two-digit detail code. We follow census practice in assigning names and classifications to the languages. The codes are numbered roughly according to linguistic similarity, but users should examine the data dictionary carefully before beginning their research.
The most complicated coding problems often involved the most infrequently occurring languages, since the census established consistent patterns for handling the most common languages. In the 1910 PUMS, most languages have a unique code and those that were grouped together are listed in the enumerator instructions. While we did have to make "judgment calls," they affect relatively few cases. Furthermore, all of the original PUMS categories are preserved in the detail codes.
