Great Service
I had only the given name of Charles Gilman's wife and no marriage date or place. The photo of his headstone on Findagrave.com indicated he was a Civil War Veteran so I ordered his pension file. The ordering process was clear and easy and I received the PDF files SO much faster than if I had ordered them directly from NARA. I was delighted to find the information that I had hoped for- I know his wife's maiden name and their date and place of marriage [see attached file.] This is a great retrieval service- the ordering process is [...]

Five star plus
The ordering process was terrific from start to finish, with great communication. The website instructions are brief and clear, so it couldn't be easier to upload soldier information and retrieve the files. The service and pension files arrived very quickly, and the images were excellent. All this for a very reasonable and affordable cost! Very glad to have found Gopher Records.

Great service in retrieving a less known record set
Gopher Records was able to retrieve a French Spoliation Claim from the National Archives. They were incredibly quick and sent me high quality images of the record for a very reasonable price. I highly recommend them.

Stellar Service
I requested a pension file and the service was superb: easy ordering, fast turnaround, high-quality images, and seamless invoicing and delivery. The PDF was delivered with information on how the pages were scanned, e.g., how difficult-to-handle documents were imaged, and I think that attention to detail exemplifies Gopher Records commitment to high-quality customer service. I was thrilled with the whole experience. And, I found children's birthdates that are probably not available from any other source!

Excellent Service
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.

Gopher Records- fantastic pension Records service
I've used Gopher Records twice and it's so much better than the NARA. There's wonderful communication, Records retrieval is a few weeks instead of months, and the cost is reasonable.
I request a digital copy and the pdf file is complete and readable.

Went the extra mile to find my file! Great communication and service!
I wrote an earlier review for a pension file I had ordered. I was so pleased with the speed and overall customer service that I ordered two additional files from Gopher.
My most recent order was for a Spanish American War pension and service file, which had been challenging for me to locate. It turned out to be a bit more difficult to access than the civil war files I had ordered previously, but Gopher found the pension file for me after searching a couple of different locations. They were also able to let me know that the service [...]
