Not THAT Steve Erwin
Illustrator Steve Erwin contacted me via email today regarding my partial transcript of Rosalie Priour's autobiography. In his own words:
I have been researching the Texas Revolution for several years now with hopes of producing a series of graphic novels about the events. A couple of years ago, I found Mrs. Priour's story of her coming to Texas from Ireland on the Son Of Dewitt Colony website and was just floored by the first-person narrative. I thought I'd never be able to read the rest of her story...
This is just priceless.
I can't thank you enough for providing this story online! Whether or not my personal project(s) ever materialize, the wealth of information from her observances and insights from the 1830's onward is totally fascinating. Truely, this is what the internet was intended to be all about.
I am up to Chapter 23 and look forward to Chapter 24. Having discovered this website only tonight, this has been a 'book I couldn't put down'. I consider it an early holiday present to myself; I've downloaded each page in PDF for future re-reading.
You must be very proud to have such a wonderful woman in your ancestry and to be able to know so much about her.
Thanks again. And a very happy holiday season to you.
Steve Erwin

I have been trying to find out where I came from. My father Ronald L. Petrus his father William Petrus and I dont know anymore. I see that the Petrus name can come from many different europian areas, England, Hungary, Russia, I was wondering if there is a Petrus family Crest. Any help would be nice.
No, there is no Petrus family crest but it there were, it would surely include St. Peter and crossed keys.
