Thanks to Bob Velke I received a lot of information for my Civil War ancestor. He did not serve very long due to the war ending, but my questions were answered. Quick response from my first inquiry.
Gopher Records provides excellent service at a reasonable rate. They are good communicators, and they provide excellent scans of the documents you order. I would absolutely order from them again.
Very fast turnaround. Great communication thru process. Very pleased with service.
