# Talk:Olga Hartman

Confirm and verify family.  Was Frieda her sister?  Was her birth name Hartmann?
Should her senior quote be included?  I wouldn't want my senior quote here, so should it be removed?
I added it because it gives the subject a human interest angle.  I will remove it if someone thinks that is best for the article
Hartman authored 32 taxon names[1]
WoRMS sources list has the majority of work available online by request[2]
Complete summary of published and annotated letters ("Travels with Olga")
Link to full access thesis and dissertation
Petersen (her husband) is credited as the artist for many of the biological illustrations in Hartman's published work.

Hello -- I am Dagmar, Olga Hartman's daughter. I just came across her page and think it's great! Thank you for keeping her legacy alive. To add a little more background, she came from a farm family of five children: Emil, Hulda, Frieda and Olga (fraternal twins), and baby brother Albert -- 16 years' later. Only Emil and Albert received funding for college (as long as they majored in engineering), but my mother was determined to get a higher education, so she taught school to earn her own money and ultimately attended the University of Illinois, majoring in botany. Once she saw the ocean for the first time, she was hooked (that's what she always told me). If you need a better picture of her, please let me know. 2601:1C1:8582:BF30:7123:D370:161E:9A35 (talk) 16:06, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
