Civil War Service Pension files
This is my third time requesting files, and I have to say, the service you provide is outstanding. Prompt clear communication and quick turnaround every time. Not to mention exceptional value. It costs less to have my records copied and delivered to my computer than a tank of gas to drive to D.C. and then have to research and wade through red tape. I have found out more about my ancestor than I thought possible from his pension file. The copies were clear and complete and to date, I'm probably close to 1,000 pages [...]

Record retrieval
I had requested the retrieval of my second great grandfather's Civil War records. Within hours of submitting my request, he had responded telling me what was available and the cost. Within 2 days, I had my records to download and print. GopherRecords live up to their promises and I will use again if I find my records that I need.

Gopher Records = Brick Wall Breaker!!
I've been wanting to take a trip to NARA for so long, to access the hidden pension files of the Civil War soldiers. Then, someone told me about Gopher Records, and I thought I might as well give them a try. Voila!! They found a 108-page pension file that broke down a brick wall and solved a huge mystery, providing the name of the soldier's wife, names and birth dates of two children, the day he died, and where he lived after the war. The depositions included gave verbatim quotes from neighbors and family members... What a goldmine of [...]

Easy process, excellent customer service
I've placed about five orders now, and I continue to be impressed by the affordability, quickness, and customer service of Gopher. On my most recent order, it turned out there were two soldiers with the exact same name I was looking for. Bob contacted me, helped me sort out the two men, and delivered the correct records. If you can't make it to NARA yourself, Gopher is the way to go!

Civil War Pension Records
I wish I could say that I found the answers I was looking for when I received my order, but they just weren't there. However, I am confident that I received everything there was to find for my 2X great grandfather who served in the Civil War. Gopher Records was so prompt and thorough with my order and I have every confidence that I received all the available records. The speed and service was absolutely amazing AND the price was right besides. I'm sure I'll be ordering more records in the future. I

Quick and Clean
I submitted my order just before Christmas and I didn't expect any response for weeks. But I received back my scanned file shortly after New Years. Despite the age of these documents the scans were clear and very readable. I am very happy with the result.

Amazing Service & Information
I have used Gopher Records twice in the past year. They have great communication and professionalism. I highly recommend them if you are looking for genealogy information on your family. I found a hidden gem in my last order!

Outstanding work, quick turnaround
You really can't beat the service - a complete set of Civil War records in 10 days for less than it would cost me to go to NARA and do it myself (and with far less hassle). I will use Gopher Records wherever possible.
