Abstract Nicolae Gheorghe was born in 1946, in Roşiorii de Vede. In 1968, Nicolae entered the Department of Sociology of the Faculty of Philosophy from the University of Bucharest. He finished, in 1972, as valedictorian, with an average grade of 10. Since he was hired in 1972 at the Center for Sociological Research, Nicolae has been involved in several research about the Roma, of which we want to mention two: in 1974, the Communist Party launched a research on Roma, which aimed to find out the causes of their marginalization in Romania; and in 1976, he worked on a project aimed at ”social integration of young gypsies”. Most likely, these projects targeting the Roma led Nicolae to take possession of this study about relatives in Glod.
