      In 1970, this question was not asked if R had no children of
      his/her own (or MD if had any); 1970 data are not included in this var.

      In 1994 and 2000, instead of being asked how many children were in the
      household/family or establishing number of children through the
      household listing, R was asked if he/she had any children of his/her
      own and further questions were asked about those children.  1994 and
      2000 data are not included here.
