Gopher Records was wonderful to work with. Quick turnaround times and great pricing. It was so easy to order my 2-times great-grandfather's Civil War records. Gopher records made finding my 2-times great-grandfather's records so easy. His birth name was Jens Christian Olson, which he changed to Jens O. Kirkeby but he enlisted into the army under John Olsen. It's been wonderful reading about his war time experiences. Thanks, Gopher Records for all your help. Carla

I had no idea there was so much information in these files. I received over 100 pages of information, and almost every page had either info I couldn't find elsewhere, or postive proof of things I already suspected. Gopher Records was wonderful. Great service. They were thorough, and professional. They are almost half the cost, and much faster than ordering from the Nathional Archives. I am so pleased, I will definitely use them again!

I had submitted a NARA reproduction request 16 months ago for a civil war pension file (and been charged for it!), but had no update from NARA despite multiple follow-up emails and checking their Order Status website. After seeing some online posts recommending Gopher Records I e-mailed and asked if they could help me get the record. Bob got back to me within a day and I had the files in my inbox within 2 business days! AND here's the kicker - he helped get me a refund from NARA too. Bob was very quick, helpful and personable - I can't [...]

I have used Gopher a couple of times for Civil War records and they have been great! Both orders were filled very quickly and professionally. I received a significant discount on one order because they found some of the records were already available online. They are a great, honest business to work with and I highly recommend them!

Absolutely the best records request experience I have ever had. I took advantage of the free assessment option so that I could make an educated decision about which records I really wanted, and that assessment came quickly and was thorough enough (much more information than I expected) for me to make a sensible decision. I then placed an order for the record set I wanted, and that too came quickly and clearly documented. Really a terrific, thorough operation. So pleased to have this option! (Also: Don't miss all the helpful information on the website!)

Love, love, love Gopher Records! Service is just as described and even BETTER! Used to be I would wait months and months for Civil War and Revolutionary War records when I ordered them from the National Archives. No more with Gopher Records! In one case I waited for one record from Gopher less than a week! I ordered an entire Civil War pension record also from Gopher and it was over 100 pages and I paid much less than I would ordering through the National Archives and it came lightning fast! I am [...]

Another fast and accurate record retrieval by Gopher Records. I will be telling my client about the service and how easy it is to order a Civil War pension record. Thank you!

I recently read about this company on a forum and decided to give it a try. Processed orders in less than a week. responsive to questions. I asked a question about if there was another part of a pension file for a wife reference in the pension file I was given next day he sent me the wife’s pension file as well…..just wow, highly recommended. If you like primary sources for research or genealogy I would recommend try Gopher Records.

I am thrilled with my experience requesting copies of 2 Civil War pension files. I received them within days of submitting my order, and the quality of the scans is fantastic. I was really impressed by how simple and organized the process was, too. As soon as I paid my invoice, I received the link to download the files. I really appreciated how certain things were highlighted like a variance in names in the records, and no medical carded medical records to be found. I will definitely use Gopher Records again when I need files but can't make it [...]

Easy to order, quick to received documents. I have used Gopherrecords often and will continue to do so.
