Reasonable Pricing, Great Service
I was able to obtain records for two of my Civil War relatives. The records were complete, the service was very quick (especially compared to other services I have used), and the price was quite reasonable. I highly recommend Gopher Records.

Excellent turn Around time
If you need Civil War Records quick for a project, This is the place you want to go. I used to do this kind of thing but I'm 71 and dont have the time or money for the Archives anymore. I used to get the military and pension records, Courts Martial records and other things from someone that lived in the National Archives area but his Military career took him elsewhere. Another friend recommended this fellow and I've used his services more than once. I highly recommend this site.

Civil War Files
I had been hearing about Gopher Records for awhile now and the wonderful results they were getting. Finally several weeks I decided to place an order myself with them. 1st I want to say is that you are not asked to pay until the records are found. I was quite impressed with that. I have a subscription to Fold3 and one grandfather they found a little more, but not a whole lot…..but I was shocked at the size of my 2nd grandfather’s file. For example in his pension file it had all of his handwritten letters thru out the [...]

Civil War Pension Order
I discovered Bob Voelke from a page on the National Archives website who was available for hire as a researcher (https://www.archives.gov/research/hire-help/locations?facility=washington-dc).
I sent him an e-mail inquiry and he responded quickly. Once I ordered my requested record, I received it in short order.

Outstanding Service
My first time using Gopher Records and I will absolutely use them again. I am researching Civil War soldiers and veterans for two different projects, including obtaining headstones for unmarked graves. So easy to use this service and the turn around time is fast.

Great, quick service and follow up
I've recently ordered two Civil War or later pension files from NARA through Gopher. Very quick service, great customer contact emails, extremely low price. The scans were high quality and complete. I'd highly recommend them even if you live near DC, you'll spend more time getting to NARA, waiting for records to be pulled, going through the files. Just use Gopher!

A Happy Customer!
Having used a different service in the past and having a bad experience, I was so glad to find so many others had great things to say about Bob and Gopher Records. He's been helpful in finding the correct individuals in my searches and is responsive to questions. The deliveries are before the estimations, and if it will take longer, I am advised of that. Thank you so much, awesome customer service!

Satisfied 9 times
Nine files I have requested and each time Gopher Records has produced surprising results. I am learning that the the past wars for this country affected not just a single soldier it affected entire families. I have been requesting not just my direct line soldiers but also the brothers, uncles, and all who served in each family. This company produces quality work with continued followup on each request until the request is completed. I'll be sending more requests for all the wars they can research.
