Note from the Hart: I don't want to brag "too much"...but have placed here a few of the the many testimonials I have received over the years. My clients as well their research projects vary from individual family work, legal heir investigation, assistance for other professional resarchers, private government contracts, and more. I sincerely hope this will serve to give you confidence in my work, encourage you to contact me and allow me to help you with your research project.

"Dear Harriet,
On behalf of everyone here at the Osher Institute at UH Manoa, I want to thank you for offering such a well-received and well-organized Genealogy workshop for our students. The course evaluations say it all: Students rated your efforts "excellent" and "very valuable" in all categories.
At the close of every class session over the term, I could see the excitement and delight in your students' faces. Your instruction and advice helped them better understand the challenges and methodologies of exploring their ancestry and gave them useful frameworks for pursuing their own research efforts.
Please accept my heartfelt thanks for all the effort, time, talent, knowledge and enthusiasm that you generously shared with our OLLI students and the program. If you ever want to reprise the endeavor or offer a smaller follow-up seminar with your course graduates, just say the word and we'll schedule it for a future term. Please know that you've made a lot of students really happy and set them on a path to discover and appreciate their own family histories. It was an absolute joy to work with you.
Mahalo,
Becky"

"Hart has gone above and beyond in searching for an elusive ancestor! Though there were some barriers to record access at various stages, she kept plowing though until she found the evidence I needed. If you are looking for a researcher in Hawaii, do not hesitate to contact Hart - she cares about the research as if it were for her own family, and will do amazing work for you."

"Hart,
Great stuff and great way to start my day ... Excellent work ... I'm really excited you were able to get these so quickly ...
Please don't forget to send your bill ... we need to get you paid for all the fantastic work you've done ...
I don't get a lot of people from Hawai'i, but when I do, I'll look to you first ...
Thank you again ...

"Hart is a pleasure to work with. She went above and beyond to solve my research problem. She is absolutely the "go-to" person for genealogical research in Hawaii."

"The first person I ever contacted when I began my family research was Hart. She is so very encouraging and extremely knowledgeable.
Her resources are amazing and I have learned so much from her. I have been finding my roots and I am thankful that I found her."

Connecting with Hart solved an historical mystery which had eluded some local historians for decades. My current research on the history of life guarding in Santa Cruz involves an important connection with Honolulu and the early paddle board contests held there. But despite my best efforts and those of two friends, we could not verify vital information. It was Hart who tracked down the key Honolulu date we were looking for in 1931. At long last, we have a primary source citation to go with it! It was wonderful to have the benefit of Hart's researching skills which included leads from her wide network of contacts in the archive world.
