I had the best first experience with Gopher Records. They asked questions to make sure they had all the correct information, explained everything in detail, and provided me with a complete scan of the file very quickly. I will definitely use Gopher Records again.

The ordering and downloading processes are straightforward and transparent. I opted for a bundle, and the number of records that I got, and the information in them, was well worth the price. I will gladly turn to GOPHER again for my next Civil War soldier ancestor.

I cannot say enough good things about Gopher Records. They have consistently delivered above and beyond my expectations. I first reached out to them to locate a USCT pension file, and they came through quickly and efficiently. Most recently, they pulled another file for me—this time for William Crook—and it turned out to be an incredible 529 pages. I received it back in record time, and now I’ll be spending weeks combing through it and even longer piecing together all the details. Ever since I discovered Gopher Records, I’ve had complete faith in their ability to get the job done [...]

As with previous orders, the service is fast, and the copies of the documents are great. Unlike the official file copies that NARA provides, these are not black and white photocopies. Rather, they are pictures or scans of each document in the applicable file. In many cases front and back of the document. I much prefer to have these rather than the photocopies. In fact, I plan to order copies of some files that I already have NARA photocopies of, because I want the better quality copies.

I received the requested information very quickly. Will return as my relatives are found.

I recently received the Civil War Soldier's Bundle and I am SO grateful!! The information in the records answered some questions I had and prompted new ones! Thank you so much for the very quick response to my record request. I highly recommend this service!!

I am quite pleased with Gopher Records. It took only two weeks to get my records. Plus, the price was very reasonable. I shall use them again.

Records were obtained in a timely manner. Good job.

I ordered Civil War files. Before the files were retrieved from the Archive, I was contacted to clarify details because the name in the files was spelled differently than in the index I had. I was allowed to decide whether or not it was the same person before being charged. Once I gave the go-ahead, I was given an approximate delivery date. To my delight, the file was available earlier and included good copies of all the documents requested! The process of ordering, paying and downloading the PDF copy of the files was simple and worked smoothly with no [...]

Every time I interact with Gopher Records, I come away pleased. They are prompt, courteous, and go above and beyond in making sure that I ordered what I really wanted, pointing out more than one time that I could save money by choosing another option. I've ordered well over 1000 pages from them and I would not have had access to any of it without their help.
