After trying to get a document we needed from the National Archives in DC for almost two years, Gopher came to our rescue and we had a certified copy of it in our hands in four days. Although a bit out of their usual area (soldiers), Bob answered my desperate message via Facebook Messenger looking for someone who could help us acquire a certified copy of a 1912 ship's manifest that originally brought our relatives to the USA. Back in 2020, we'd gone through the usual process of finding the document on Ancestry.com and had submitted payment and forms [...]

I learned about Gopher from a genealogy group on Facebook so I immediately went to the site and did the Free Assessment first to see if my 2nd great-grandfather had any records at the National Archives. Once I was told that he did, I paid for them, and in a matter of days, I had PDF files to download. One of them, was his pension record and his wife's request for his pension once he passed. And, in it, I was finally able to obtain their marriage date, which I had not been able to locate after five years [...]

Gopher Records is an excellent research service. I am a return customer and have recommended them to several others including a historical society and a small museum. Super pleased! Highly recommended.

Easy to order. Quick delivery of records. Excellent service. Will use again.

I highly recommend the services of Gopher Records! The service is quick, the document is very clear and it is always a joy to be able to have such a goldmine of genealogical information received so fast! One of the documents I received was well worth the cost: it contained a transcription of the family bible that listed the 13 siblings of the soldier (the oldest being born in 1814). If I had been at NARA, I would have been expelled from the reading room. I could scream all I want in the comfort of my home when I opened [...]

I had no idea there was so much information in these files. I received over 100 pages of information, and almost every page had either info I couldn't find elsewhere, or postive proof of things I already suspected. Gopher Records was wonderful. Great service. They were thorough, and professional. They are almost half the cost, and much faster than ordering from the Nathional Archives. I am so pleased, I will definitely use them again!

I have used Gopher Records twice now to order Civil War Pension Files. Both times I have been extremely impressed with how quickly they were able to retrieve these records. I recommend the highly.

I have had Gopher research military/pension records for me several times. I am really pleased with their service. Their customer service is excellent. Their communication during the process is amazing. And their delivery time is first rate. I can't recommend them enough. Keep up the good work!

I've used this service on multiple occasions. Great communication whether asking for clarification, letting you know when searches are completed, or finalizing requests and orders, and explaining what was found. Always a good experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

Very fast response time. Will use again
