James Martin found more records

I had contacted Gopher Records quite some time ago, but until recently had not actually used the service. Everything was outstanding. The fee charged, the perfection and completion of the digital images furnished to me and the prompt attention ot my order were beyond my expectations.

Great service. Obtaining images was so easy.

I have obtained CMSRs two ways...one through NARA and one through Gopher Records. From now on I will only use Gopher Records. They were professional, quick, and reasonably priced. The records were in color and organized. I couldn't be more thrilled! The folder I got from NARA was in B&W and incomplete (because it's so large). I'm now going to ask Gopher Records for that file so I can see it in its entirety. I own my business and know how important good reviews are. I'm happy to give them glowing remarks! Gray Stabley

Although I've done a lot of genealogy for women interested in joining the Daughters of the American Revolution, questions about a Civil War lineage weren't addressed in the usual on-line sources - and my experience with the National Archives is that they take a long time. So, when another application taskforce member suggested Gopher Records, I said "why not?" Based on this experience, I am adding Gopher Records to my list of "go to" sources. They were prompt - and I mean within 48 hours prompt - and reasonably priced. This is a great resource that I'd never heard of [...]

I've placed several orders with Gopher and only have the highest praise for the expeditious manner in which they get the job done. I've ordered from NARA directly in the past and it takes many months and if the file you've requested is more than 100 pages, it takes some back and forth before you can get the rest of it. With this service you get all the pages which are available. And, comparing the files I've received from NARA to those I've received from Gopher, I'd say Gopher's scanning is better.

I first learned about Gopher Records through several enthusiastic recommendations in genealogy Facebook groups. I ordered the Civil War Soldier’s Bundle and was thoroughly impressed by the speed of fulfillment, the quality of the copies, the reasonable cost, and the responsiveness of Bob Velke when I had a few follow-up questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Gopher Records.

Thanks to Gopher Records, I had a major breakthrough in my family research! Their ability to navigate the confusing National Archives is impressive, as are their communications and customer service. I highly recommend!

I've been researching and documenting two ancestors' stories for several years now. I avoided getting records from NARA because the official process is tedious. With my research process ending and my writing process starting, I knew I needed more. There were numerous blanks that needed filled in for my ancestors, as well as a handful of close friends and cousins who served alongside them. Thankfully, I recently discovered Gopher Records, and was amazed at their speed, quality, and communication. The documents I got were a gold mine. Pensions revealed uncomfortable details of how the group suffered after the war. Service [...]

I can’t say enough good things about Bob and Gopher Records! Bob went above and beyond to help me locate several Civil War service and pension records for me. He was very responsive and even provided some valuable feedback in helping to narrow down the right record that I’d been searching for! I will definitely be using Gopher Records again in the future!
