I am very happy with the service I received through Gopher. When I used the official NARA retrieval service previously, it took 19 months to get a pension file I’d requested. However, when I used Gopher I received my requested files in about a week. The images were clear and the process was very easy. I would highly recommend this service.

I'd heard of Gopher Records and was interested in trying it out. So I submitted a request for my great-great grandfather's Civil War records just to give the service a test. I already had a fair amount of information and just wanted to see what they might come up with. They came back with a treasure trove of previously unknown information about not only him but his through wife and family through the pension records. The process is quick and easy. Loved it and will definitely be using it again.

I got everything I had hoped and more. The medical records are priceless.

You simply can’t go wrong with Gopher Records! The speediest and highest quality service for obtaining military records. Great price, too. I have ordered Civil War pension files several times and can’t recommend them more highly. Very meticulous in ensuring that you obtain every page in the file.

I placed an order for a few Civil War records from NARA and I was more than pleasantly surprised at how quickly they were able to copy my records and send them to me. I will absolutely use them again. Thank you thank you thank you!

A huge shout out to Gopher Records! I requested a Civil War pension file in October 2024 and had an estimated delivery date of November 22nd. The file arrived 3 weeks earlier and consisted of a high quality color pdf. The price was less than I would've paid through the National Archives and arrived far sooner. This is a great service, and I highly recommend Gopher Records.

Couldn't be happier with everything I have recieved in a timely manner from Bob and the team at Gopher Records! They make the ordering process fast and simple and my records were sent in less than a week. Thank you Bob and team!

I reached out with an inquiry regarding records outside the typical scope, and my request was met with courtesy, willingness, and a reasonable price quote. I am extremely pleased with the timely response and beautiful images of a US Naval Deck Log from the 1920s. I've just had the large file printed in two bound volumes -- this will be the best Christmas gift my elderly father has ever received. Thanks, Bob!

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.

Very prompt service, excellent scan quality. Would definitely recommend.
