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!

Great service! Quick turnaround and clear copies emailed to me. I highly recommend Gopher records!

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.

I've placed multiple orders with Gopher Records over the years, and Bob has always been helpful, prompt, and professional. For my most recent order, I requested records for five Civil War veterans. Although I wasn't certain these individuals were my ancestors, I wanted to explore every possibility in my research. Before fulfilling my request, Bob contacted me to clarify my needs, resulting in significant savings. I would gladly use Gopher Records again!

I was amazed at the speed with which my request for Civil War records was processed. I submitted this for a client and they are so pleased with the quality of the document I was able to provide them. I will ALWAYS use Gopher Records when I have a need!

WOW....I cannot recommend enough the services provided by this gentleman! I am over the moon happy with his speedy service and affordable pricing. I tried another company some time ago, and had to pay upfront, and never received the information that I paid for. Gopher does not accept your payment until after they have your order ready. I have placed 2 orders so far for a total of 5 family members Civil War records & have more orders to place. Both orders have been fulfilled in less than a months time. I appreciate [...]
