finding civil war records
Gopher records helped me retrieve records from College Park. Also, they told me that one record I was looking for was the state of Pennsylvania and not a federal record.
I was impressed with how quickly they would provide the records for me. Using Pay-Pal made it easy to settle our bill.
I thought their prices were very reasonable.
Thank you,
Gogher Records

Fast, courteous, reasonably priced service
I asked Gopher records to find all the records that the National Archives has for my relative who was killed at the battle of Gettysburg. I am planning a visit to the battlefield with family members to see the place where he died.
I ordered the Soldiers Bundle and was pleased with the price and the rapid turnaround. Thank you Gopher records!

Professional service. Quick turnaround. Great price. I am a professional genealogist and have used this service twice to obtain records from the National Archives. Highly recommended. One court martial record I ordered had 491 pages - they scanned them all and sent to me for only $45. Much needed service for researchers. Thank you!

patience & persistence
Bob, I took advantage of your pandemic offer to dig into records as soon as NARA resumed processing. At this point you have completed all my requests. It has been eye-opening for our family, and we are most grateful for your expertise. At every step along the way you kept me well informed with realistic expectations. Your professionalism and dogged pursuit have been admirable, even to the point of a Freedom of Information request that accomplished the research goal. Highly recommended! I'm compiling my next request now.

Efficient, Friendly, Thorough
I was searching for the pension files for 5 ancestors/wives. Within a few days of my initial request Gopher Records had already located one and asked clarification questions for the other 4. Within 2 weeks all but one ancestors files had been located and we determined more research would be needed to find the last on my part. Gopher Records provided a link to do some of that research and was friendly and understanding when what I initially had was not adequate to determine which files were his. Shortly after I submitted payment a link [...]

Ordered three Civil war pension files – A+ experience
I recently ordered three Civil War pension files from Gopherrecords and was very pleased with the experience. For the first file, they informed me that a website had already digitized it and sent me a link to the file for no charge.
For the next two files they retrieved, uploaded, and shared the record with me several weeks before the estimated delivery date. Two out of these three files helped me solve major brick walls in my family tree.
The entire process from ordering to payment to reception was smooth and easy. Highly recommend using this service over ordering directly [...]

Again, Gopherrecords exceed expectations. I received the pension records in two days time. They are the quickest, cheapest and the most convenient way to obtain records. They have never disappointed and I will continue to use this amazing service.
