A friend suggested I try Gopher Records to find military medical, discharge and pension records for my 2nd Great Grandfather who was in the Civil War. Setting up the request on the website was fast and easy. I thought the cost was a bit steep ($76) for the Civil War Soldier Bundle (medical, discharge, pension),
I ordered Civil War files. Before the files were retrieved from the Archive, I was contacted to clarify details because the name in the files was spelled differently than in the index I had. I was allowed to decide whether or not it was the same person before being charged. Once I gave the go-ahead,
Bob was super awesome to work with. He is extremely kind and very helpful. He was very easy to understand and explained things completely until I had a full understanding. I would highly recommend his services to anyone. Thank You Bob. Your services are appreciated more than you will ever know. jj
Happy to report another positive experience with Gopher records. I’m working on two regimental histories, and needed confirmation & context for several storylines I had uncovered. Gopher records quickly and thoroughly provided service records, medical records, and pensions that helped flesh out the stories I’m crafting. I highly recommend this service to anyone researching ancestors
As a first time customer, I’m very pleased by the prompt and complete pension file documents from NARA that Gopher Records obtained on my Civil War ancestor.
Over the past year, I have ordered several sets of records (pension, service and medical) from GophurRecords.com, and have always been pleased with their service. Not only are the downloads clear and complete, but they are priced much less than files ordered direct from NARA, and arrive MUCH faster (by a matter of months!) I
I learned about Gopher Records through the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War. Having had a bad experience with another service, I was reluctant to try them. I am sure glad I did. They delivered all that they promised in an unbelievably short time and at a price that was far below any
Professional service. Quick turnaround. Great price. I am a professional genealogist and have used this service twice to obtain records from the National Archives. Highly recommended. One court martial record I ordered had 491 pages – they scanned them all and sent to me for only $45. Much needed service for researchers. Thank you!
I can’t say enough for this service. If you are looking for a Civil War Pension File – these are the folks to use. I have used NARA in the past and it has become a frustrating experience. Their system is difficult to navigate, expensive and slow. “Gopher Records” delivered my file quickly and inexpensively.
As an author, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the delays at the National Archives due to COVID that had brought some critical research to a standstill. Gopher Records was a game-changer. Reasonably priced, fast turnaround, and one-on-one great communication.
