I have ordered Bounty Land Applications from both NARA and now Gopher records. The difference in quality is astounding. The records recieved back from NARA are black and white scans of photo copies.

I’ve ordered numerous civil war pensions and always received prompt service with excellent images which were easy to download.

Thank you for QUICKLY finding the records I have requested and forwarding them to me. It was only a matter of a few days! I was completely amazed with how quickly you sent them. (And I found out quite a lot about my ancestor through the court martial records. He was found not guilty!!)
Gopher Records is a great service! The prices are reasonable and the response time is excellent. It was very easy to order, as well as to receive the scanned documents.
