John Derbyshire:

Very many thanks for the receipt of Royal Marines Service History of my Father dating from 1918.

David Mervin

Bob O'Hara is a most helpful and resourceful researcher who has helped me solve several family history mysteries. In my experience, he also operates a very fair charging policy

Alastair Brown

I would like to add my thanks to those of the many other grateful recipients of Bob's Research skills.

David Atherton - Liverpool

I can recommend Bob O'Hara without the slightest hesitation, both for maritime and family history research at the National Archives.

Ian Bates - Queensland

Of particular use has been the introduction of digital images by Internet download...

Ian Bates - Queensland

Now I can request a search of State Papers and have the results on my computer within days. It is such a great help in maintaining continuity of writing.

Colin Heape - Scotland

Bob found a letter in Foreign Office files written by the Governor of British Somaliland in 1921 to Winston Churchill concerning Abyssinia...

Colin Heape - Scotland

The letter proved a story my father had told me as a child about a journey he made on horseback to Jig Jiga.

Ryan Bock - Maryland

Bob and his team were instrumental in helping me complete my doctoral dissertation...

Ryan Bock - Maryland

They sent me precisely what I asked for (and in some cases, I got valuable bonus material!) at a reasonable price.

Shirley de Mestre O'Donovan - Sydney

Bob's knowledge of the military records at the British Archives is extensive...

Shirley de Mestre O'Donovan - Sydney

...but what has impressed me is his perception and his ability to identify the small but important pieces of information.

Caroline Alexander - Lancashire

Bob's research for Mutiny on the Bounty in TNA, resulted in a wealth of obscure material...

Caroline Alexander - Lancashire

He was always attentive to my specific requests and dogged in the hunt when an item could not at first be found. Focussed, efficient and vastly knowledgeable.

Hilary Wild,- Brighton

I was delighted with the research that Bob did for me in finding an ancestor in the Merchant Navy...

Hilary Wild,- Brighton

It was nice to find someone who not only specialises in that field, but who was well acquainted with TNA and their records.

Pam Fitzgerald,- Ontario

Bob did some research for me regarding my ancestor's military records. I found Bob to be very professional and I was well satisfied with the work he did for me.

Kelsey McMillan - Houston

As an 8th Air Force bomb group historian in the United States, I sometimes need UK help...

Kelsey McMillan - Houston

Bob has conducted several research projects for me, and I have found him to be professional and dedicated.

Karen Dickson - Brackley

I would like to thank Bob for making an 'old' lady very happy. My Gran missed the critical years of her father’s life, but with Bob’s help, we provided a plan...

Karen Dickson - Brackley

...that gave Gran the information that she was looking for and how her father survived a U Boat attack.
