I needed help with two sets of homestead records and thought I had provided an attachment that I managed to leave out, but this did not slow Bob down at all. He jumped out, looked up the information online that I thought I had attached, and sent back a note confirming that he had what I was looking for. The last time I ordered something directly from the National Archives it seems like it took several months. This took less than two weeks. I don't remember the exact time frame but it was very quick in the world of [...]

Gopher Records was able to find my great-great-grandmother's rejected widow's pension application which has long been part of our family lore. It was amazing to read affidavits from various family members and see first hand accounts of events that were passed down over the years as stories. Gopher was able to provide a quick turnaround, gave status updates throughout the process, and delivered high quality scans. I will be using them for future orders.

Thank you for telling my he was shot in his left chest I always wondered where he was shot and I didnt know he was sent to Philadelphia for a while. Died Jan 1864 from his wounds I did have the military record of his date of birth and death, and I got his fathers will stating George had passed. I did find name on the PA Monument in Gettysburg and where he is buried and I place American flags on his grave and his father

Very pleased with the level of service. They quickly responded to questions about my unique request and how to enter the order. I was advised of the progress and they reached out to for clarification to locate the records. I received the records faster than I anticipated. Excellent price for the level of service provided. I would highly recommend their services.

I volunteer with a non-profit organization researching African American soldiers who served in the U.S. Colored Troops during the Civil War. One of the other volunteers mentioned Gopher Records as a faster and cheaper alternative to NARA for obtaining digital pension record files. She was certainly right on the money; the service far exceeded my expectations. The on-line registration is very user-friendly. The site allows you to upload documents that may assist in the retrieval of information you're seeking. In my case, I uploaded a pension card and the entire pension file was delivered [...]

I have ordered two military pension files through Gopher Records and been very impressed with their service. The first pension file was received within about a week of the order's placement, much sooner than the estimate given on the website. The second pension file proved more difficult to obtain, but Gopher Records went above and beyond to find it and reproduce it for me. The PDF files provided by Gopher Records have clear images and are easy to navigate. I look forward to using this service again for military pension files connected to other direct [...]

Another great job by GopherRecords. This was my second request for Bounty Land Files for newly discovered War of 1812 veterans. GR was fast, complete and at a very reasonable price. My go-to entity for records. Thanks GR for another job well done!

The records we ordered were complete, comprehensive and delivered in the time specified. The value was better than any other service. I highly recommend Gopher Records

I’ve used other services that were not even close to the turnaround of Gopher Records. I got my records in 1 week. And found so much information! I have been compiling a list of more civil war pensions I need and I’ll be ordering next pay period!

I treated myself to the Civil War bundle, offered before Christmas. Although I had personally researched and looked at my ancestors' muster roll records at the National Archives, many years ago, the pension files intimidated me and I decided to hand it off to the experts. I'm very pleased with the pension records I received. Thanks!
