I submitted a request for 5 individuals right before Memorial Day weekend and the turnaround was amazing. I had some of the documents in hand already on Saturday and everything else delivered by Tuesday. All the records were well organized, easily accessilble, and clearly scanned. Gopher Records is my "go to" for military service documents. Thank you!

Having worked with military pension files for many years, I have always regarded them as an invaluable resource. The drawback has been the cost and time involved in ordering them from NARA since I don't live near D.C. It was for these reasons that I decided to give Gopher Records a try. To say they exceeded my expectations would be a definite understatement. The scan quality of the pension files I received was excellent and having the documents in full color brought them more alive for me. If that wasn't enough, the cost was [...]

I ordered Civil War service and pension records from Gopher Records. The service was excellent, both professional and quick. The records I receive were excellent scans of the records in the file. One of the files contained an affidavit from an individual who identified the soldier as his uncle. This helped me confirm an unknown/unverified child of one of my ancestors. I would definitely use Gopher Records again!

Great customer service and research at a fair price!! Thank you Gopher!!

I obtained a another CW pension file from Gopher-- just like the first pension file -- the service was complete, quick and reasonably priced.

Quick Service reasonably priced. Will use again.

This was my first time using Gopher Records and it could not have been a better experience. The file I needed was not in DC and Bob was able to track it down at the Veterans Administration...he even did the Freedom of Information Act request for me. I have no experience ordering from the VA and would have been totally lost. The next time I need a record, I will not hesitate to use Gopher Records.

I've recently had two occasions to use Gopher's services and both times I was extremely pleased. The first time, they retrieved NARA records for me in an efficient, timely fashion and at a cost that was more than reasonable. The second time, although what I wanted was outside of Gopher's range of services, Bob took the time to advise me on other ways to find what I was looking for, even to the point of providing titles, links, etc. I will definitely use Gopher again.

I have requested several USCT Civil War Pension files through Gopher Records and the service and turnaround time has been exceptional, not to mention the rates. Several of my colleagues have used the service to request Civil War pension files as well. I have not heard any unfavorable feedback regarding the service from Gopher Records.

I am thoroughly impressed with Gopher Records. The ordering process was simple and I was able to provide plenty of documentation easily. I was so surprised by the quick turnaround, especially when ordering directly from the National Archives can take months and is costly. The quality of the scan was outstanding and I'm still combing through all the details. I'm so thankful to have found such a wonderful service that offers a fair price. I will be requesting more records through Gopher Records in the future! If you're on the fence about ordering records, do it and use Gopher [...]
