I was blown away by the incredible and fast service received from Bob and GopherRecords. I asked him what records were available over a year ago and the response was very quick. I didn't have enough information to feel I could order anything at that time, and he never hassled me about it. I finally got enough information I felt I had the right person and submitted my order. I was shocked at how quickly he emailed to tell me they were available, and within seconds of submitting payment, I had the file sent to me, ready to download! [...]

Service was great and price was excellent. Will use them again. Thank you.

Quick, thoughtful, and complete. Great service. I'll probably use it some more.

Gopher retrieved two Civil War pension records for me. They were ready to download in just three days, faster than NARA and at a lower price than they would have charged. The records included the dates of the soldier's first marriage and divorce, information I had not been able to find elsewhere. Recommended service!

This was my first time using Gopher Records. I chose them based on the price for what I wanted, but they exceeded my expectations regarding turnaround time. I had my order much quicker than other services I have used. I highly recommend Gopher Records!

Working with Gopher Records has been a fantastic experience every time. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and consistently responsive, and he treats his clients with genuine respect. I’ve relied on him multiple times for U.S. Civil War military records—service records, pension files, and medical documentation—and his work has directly helped resolve complex genealogical questions. If you’re dealing with challenging research problems or need high-quality military records, Gopher Records is an excellent choice.

This was my second time using Gopher and it was every bit as good as the first time. I was looking for records on five soldiers and went for the bundle package. Not every soldier had a full bundle of records and I was only charged accordingly. Great service!

I recently received the Civil War Soldier's Bundle and I am SO grateful!! The information in the records answered some questions I had and prompted new ones! Thank you so much for the very quick response to my record request. I highly recommend this service!!

I am working on a genealogy brick wall and realized a Civil War pension application may have information I needed. I saw that it could take months to get the files directly from NARA. Bob & Gopher Records had my files to me in less than a week. I appreciated the status updates, Bob provided throughout the process. In sum, this is an extremely professional organization that delivers exactly what they tell you they will, faster than expected, at a reasonable price. I wish more businesses were run this way.

Gopher Records uncovered an incredible treasure trove of family service and pension records that included correspondence letters - more than 300 pages of legible documents I had no idea existed. The process was quick, thorough, and affordable. I can’t recommend them highly enough.
