Thanks very much for the fine, quick, professional service! Excellent, personal, well-explained email communications. Help with the staff at the Archives in adjusting my order. The pension file came quickly, within a few days of the order being finalized. Thanks so much for your kind and efficient help!

Landon Smith’s USCT pension file revealed the name of his enslaver, Harriet Parker, and the name of his wife Maria’s enslaver, Susan Chandler, plus the names of Landon and Maria’s children and their dates of birth. Speedy service and a flawless delivery.

Used this service for the first time. Was pleased with the results and it didn't take long. Will definitely use this service again.

I was very happy to learn about Gopher Records and how they often can locate more records than I have been able to online. They recently found pension records for two of my relatives and I so appreciate having these records! If you decide to have them get records for you, I would suggest you review all the helpful information they have on their website. It helped answer several questions I have had.

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!

Great fast and excellent service for 2 Civil War Pension files. The images were high quality and so much better than anything I could have done. Kudos to Gopher Records!

I requested Civil War records, and Gopher made the process so much easier than wading through the NARA request process. The turnaround time can't be beat (nor can the pricing). Thank you Gopher!

Very, very pleased with every aspect of this service and the wealth of information I received in the pension application submitted by the mother of the soldier. I really had no idea there could be so much to learn from the pension applications. Thank you so much!

This was my first order and it definitely won’t be my last! The communication was excellent and very helpful in getting me pointed to the correct person. I’m very impressed by how quickly I received the records and definitely with the information they contained. Five stars for sure!

I first heard about Gopher at a national genealogy conference and decided to give their service a try after a colleague raved about them. I requested Civil War pension and Postmaster records for five ancestors—records I’d been meaning to get for years. Eight days later, Gopher delivered 754 clean, high-quality pages directly to my inbox. The results far surpassed the old photocopies I brought home from NARA years ago. Even better, they let me know that some requested files were already on Fold3, found issues with the images there, and proactively contacted Fold3 to report the problem—then didn’t charge me [...]
