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.

Civil war records
Was looking for the day and month of my ancestors birth. Did not find that but found out so much more about his health status before he was killed in action at Shiloh. So happy with the service Gopher Records provided.

Civil War Records
Outstanding service. Found out so many more details than what was expected. Gave greater clarity to what the war experience was like for our ancestors.

Very satisfied
I had heard of Gopher Records before and decided to try them out. I am very satisfied with the results. I have used the National Archives process long before COVID and that was good but Gopher Records got results much faster and was well worth the price.

Great Etiquette & Profesionalism
One of my Civil War Pension requests had an issue at NARA and the Gopher Records team had already appealed the decision before contacting me about the issue and kindly asked for up to 2-3 weeks to resolve whatever issue had arisen. In the meantime they split my initial order so I could get the other research interests while they figured out next steps on the snag. Great resolution!
Within a week I believe I received the full pension file, 255 pages of sworn affidavits, medical records, and service summaries, for free. I was told the file had already been [...]

Research Efforts & Follow Through
I am nothing but impressed and pleased with my overall experience. My initial order was for x2 Civil War Pensions, & x1 1812 Pension. The researchers at Gopher Records more than satisfied my order even though I could not get the War of 1812 file due to digitization at NARA. Great communication, thorough process, and a great end product at a great value. Thank you everyone who worked on my order & hope to do business again.

Gold once again!
I can’t express enough appreciation for the courteous, prompt and affordable service provided by Gopher Records. I have received both the military service record and the veteran’s Civil War pension file for this soldier, and each were filled with nuggets of valuable new information. For those of you who have located a pension record index for a soldier you are researching, let me tell you this: the pension file may be your best tool of the year to unearth new knowledge and to chip away at your brick wall. Mine was filled with affidavits and eye witness accounts—and even [...]

Unexpected Treasure!
I thought this Civil War military service record would not tell me anything I hadn’t already learned about my ancestor. However, included at the end, was a handwritten letter from his Colonel, respectfully asking the General to remit the harsh court martial sentence that had been given. The Colonel said he knew the soldier to be “a good man” and a “number 1 soldier.” The General honored the request, recognizing the Colonel needed every man. What an unexpected treasure, for many reasons! Documents were beautifully copied, and delivered to me within days—and at an affordable price. Thank you!
