Summary/Abstract: At the end of the 19th century, Dobruja appears like a conglomerate of ethnic groups, belief systems and life habits. Dobrujan Romanians, either we speak about those who had lived for centuries in this area, or about the colonists coming from all historical provinces, create specific demographic structures emphasized by `Hașdeu Survey`, between 1884 and 1885, and, after ten years, by `Densușianu Surveys`, in 1893 and 1897. Fundamentally, both B. P. Hașdeu and Nicolae Densușianu were preoccupied to highlight the linguistic, folklore, ethnographical and cultural elements, specific to each historical provonces, this time, speaking about Dobruja, with an effort to identify the age of oral circulation in the Romanian territories of myths and legends to attest the beginning of the history of the nation.
