Abstract
In this paper we provide further information regarding Teresa O'Heyne, which become more credible the authenticity of this popular science writer. Although Teresa O'Heyne was born in Norway, according to new data Teresa grew up in a partially Basque-speaking family and she married a Basque-speaking man from Bermeo; moreover, Basque was the main language in the homes of their sons and daughters. lt seems she also spoke English. In short, it is quite acceptable that Teresa O'Heyne was the writer which drafted the text "Nola serbitu bear dan Peruco chori-ongarria eta dagoquion usaera lur landu bacoitzetan" (1878?) . Thus, Teresa O'Heyne wou ld be one of the first pioneers of the Basque popular science.
