So glad to have found this resource. Bob and his team are swift, knowledgeable and so reasonable. I waited 9 months for records from NARA, but Gopher replied right away and only charges if/when the records are located - so easy to work with. I’ll be back for more orders 🙂

As usual, it was completed and done quickly. Thank you.

Gopher records got me correct record I needed, and at a lower price and a quicker turnaround than going through the government agency. Will use again next time I need a pension record!

I am extra pleased with the 299 page Civil War Pension File on Gerhard Heinrich Plogsterdt! Fabulous! Since his widow, Louisa Wilhelmine nee Kassebaum, filed a Widow’s Pension on him, her 2nd husband (915.187), AND on her 1st husband, Heinrich Wilhelm Wiesehan (526.056), it was all in one file as well as Plogsterdt’s self-filed pension (904.779 and certificate 896.203) and was a wealth of genealogical information! This has answered many questions that I had and most significantly it helped me break through a brick wall with documentation for my 2nd Great Grandfather’s Mother: Anna Maria Becker [...]

I cannot recommend this service highly enough. It is efficient and fast. Thank you so very much for your hard work and efforts!!!!!!!!! Very satisfied customer.

I would highly recommend Gopher Records. I requested medical and service records for my great-great grandfather and his brother who served for the Union Army. I had requested the pension records through NARA earlier. I must say I will now be requesting records through Gopher Record now and in the future. It is so much cheaper and I had the records within a few day unlike NARA which rooks a few months. They also check with you to make sure you have what you need and what to make sure they provide it [...]

So happy and surprised by the quick service. Got 114 pages of info ....magnificent. Had waited over months for NARA, got zero. Will order again soon. Great job very pleased thank you.

Some records are a stab in the dark. I still don't know if this is the right guy but I got the records very quickly, allowing me time to evaluate before deciding on the next move.

This record is for the second of several brothers who served in the Civil War--a grand-uncle to me. Again, so many nuggets in the narrative. I'm writing a book about this family and it was great to get this entire file, reproduced cleanly so everything was legible, so quickly.

I have used Gopher Records twice in the past year. They have great communication and professionalism. I highly recommend them if you are looking for genealogy information on your family. I found a hidden gem in my last order!
