What an amazing service and what amazing service!!! In less than 2 weeks, Gopher Records obtained and delivered invaluable 19th-century records that I had repeatedly but unsuccessfully tried to obtain on my own. Even though the information I provided about my ancestor’s pension claims was incomplete, Gopher Records was still able to get their hands
