I had such a great experience requesting records through Gopher Records. They were professional, quick, and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to gather Civil War pension records, service records, and medical cards. I will definitely be using them again in the near future!

Bob's personal care, professionalism, turn around time, and highly knowledgeable advice far exceeded my expectations on every level. For several weeks I kicked around the idea of taking a chance on a request. In all honesty, but for no good reason, I was not optimistic that my investment with Gopher Records.com would amount to anything of sustenance. I had made records requests before with state and federal agencies, waiting months only to receive nothing or next to nothing with the two line note informing me that my investment was for the search not for results or further [...]

There should be no hesitation in using Gopher for your record needs- great communication, honest, and thorough.

The ordering process was terrific from start to finish, with great communication. The website instructions are brief and clear, so it couldn't be easier to upload soldier information and retrieve the files. The service and pension files arrived very quickly, and the images were excellent. All this for a very reasonable and affordable cost! Very glad to have found Gopher Records.

Pursuing a life passion is only enhanced when you encounter "the best" in individuals serving the community. From start to finish I experienced a level of personalized care and professional attention to detail in Gopher Records. Bob has found his niche and makes what can be complicated, ...straight forward and simple. Communications, speed, technology, privacy and security all have been thought out and practiced likely over and over. The only way I know to sincerely thank is to Pay it Forward, ...to pass to others the link to Gopher Records and share my [...]

I appreciate the great service in obtaining a Civil War pension for me. I needed to be sure I had the complete file and appreciate the efforts of Gopher Research in that!

Fast and thorough. I received over 50pages of pension files documenting a dozen interviews of neighbors of my ggg grandparents who were attempting to receive their sons pensions. It is an amazing account of life in cincinnati in the 1880s. All of this within a week! Exceptional and I will be back for more records

Extremely fast turn around, better quality and much cheaper than ordering from the archives directly! I'm so glad I saw gopher records recommended on a genealogy group.

As a genealogist, I often have to outsource my research to someone else for various reasons. I don't travel to DC, so I've long been looking for a reliable service to obtain the records I need from that jurisdiction. Gopher Records did not disappoint! Before I even ordered, they answered my questions quickly and completely. They made the ordering process extremely easy and everything that I could expect was laid out clearly beforehand. Once ordered, the records came back extremely fast and payment was made a sinch. The records themselves were complete, clear, and aesthetic - unlike other services [...]

I can't say enough good things about Bob and Gopher Records. All three of my orders were completed as promptly as possible (given NARA access restrictions) and the digital files he provided were of the highest-possible quality. What I really appreciate is that Bob will not give up if your file is not easily located. One of the pension files I requested was not available in the Washington, DC archives, so he was referred to St. Louis. After that facility also replied that the file was not there, he filed a FOIA request on my behalf with the Veterans [...]
