Gopher Records provided very high-quality scans of two complete Civil War pension applications. The image quality, price, and fast work were all very impressive. I highly recommend them.

I requested records for a War of 1812 soldier and others for a Civil War soldier from Gopher Records. I received the records within a couple of weeks, at a very reasonable cost. In my view, Gopher Records is deserving of a 5-star review because of their customer service. Not just "Here are the records we could find", but emails along the way relating complications to their search, asking clarifying questions, and what they did to attempt to locate hoped-for records thatcouldn't be found. Highly recommended! I will use them again.

What a fabulous service Gopher Records provides! They are quick, communicative, fairly priced and thorough. They even pointed me to other researchers for one of my requests. I cannot say enough good things. Honestly can’t wait to dig up another soldier I need to research, because I’ll be coming straight back to Gopher Records!

As an experienced researcher who has traveled distances to gather material for my own projects and for other authors and their books, Gopher Research was certainly a terrific service that came in handy. It was fast and inexpensive, and I could gather the needed records. Sometimes, it's a lack of time, distance to get the records, or research brick walls, but Bob was able to complete the research quickly and effectively. I am very pleased. I have been so happy with his services that I highly recommend them and will be coming back for my next research project. [...]

Bob Velke of Gopher Records has offered me invaluable assistance in gaining access to the records I need for my research on a Civil War subject. He is experienced and very helpful, digitizing large amounts of archival material efficiently. He offers this service at an affordable rate, is prompt in fulfilling orders, and has developed a good system of delivering the results to the customer that is quick and comfortable. I especially like the fact that he was in touch with me during the day of conducting my work at the National Archives, asking questions as they came up, [...]

This is the 2nd time I have received documents from Gopher Records. They are very prompt with delivering requested records. The first time I only ordered service records for 2 ancestors. This time I ordered service, pension, and medical. The medical and pension records alone were over 140 pages of information. Would highly recommend to anyone searching for more military info to use Gopher Records. Aside from the records themselves, Bob Velke is amazing at following up even after you receive your order to make sure you are satisfied and don't have any questions or issues!!!

I am so impressed with the documents Gopher Records was able to retrieve for me on my great great grandpas through their pension records and bookmarks. There were a lot of pages located and the scans are easy to read. It was all information that I was unaware of. Thank you!!

gopherrecords was amazingly fast and thorough! Will definitely be using again! Thank You so much!

Gopher is an excellent source to obtain military records. They are easy to use, reliable, fast and affordable. They also will help you if needed. I plan on using the service over and over.
