I ordered records for my great-great-great-great grandfather and received them within ten days of my order. The scans of the documents I received were very good and will greatly aid my genealogical research. I would definitely recommend Gopher Records.

I had an old black and white copy of an ancestor's pension file. Some pages were barely readable. I requested the file through Gopher Records. They retrieved not only the pension file but also his service and medical records. The images are clear and provide information that I previously could not read. I am so happy with speed and quality of Gopher's service. I will definitely be using their services again.

I have used Gopher many times, most recently regarding a bok I am writing regarding a sodlier who died at Andersonville abut the yer befor we knew he was in the Union hospital and did not know why. Gopher found his medical records showing the dates ofadmission and discharge to and out of 3 different hospitals and the reason was not illness but a gunshot wound to the right foot after the Battle of Gettysburg near hagarstown Md. This level of detail will add greatly to my rarrative. They also found records of his siblings in the war that [...]

My sister-in-law sent me the link for Gopher Records to obtain land Grant & war of 1812 pension records. After ordering I was told it would be about 3 weeks before I would receive them, which was fine by me. Imagine my surprise when I got them about 3 days later! I was hoping that they would contain his application for the land grant but it was no longer in his folder. Although it was a disappointment, it was no fault of Gopher Records. The archives didn’t have it. However, I am pleased [...]

I was looking for a Civil War veteran’s service record because his obituary said he was a POW at Belle Isle and Andersonville and I couldn’t find anything online to verify that. I stated that this is the information I was looking for and there was no indication that he had applied for a pension before his death in 1868 or that his orphan children did. He explained to me why he and the children would be ineligible before supplying the records, including verification of POW status. This was accomplished quickly, affordably and professionally. I will certainly be a [...]

I was so pleased with the speed of the record retrieval from Gopher Records, and they are helpful with answers to questions about the records. The Civil War pension record I asked for had details about the ancestor's marriage which I could not find anywhere else. A good break in a genealogy brick wall!

I highly recommend Gopher Records, as they have quick turn around time to get any archival records from the National Archives and Records Administration. Further, the records retrieval included exceptionally high quality images for a great price. If you are thinking about ordering older archival records, do not hestitate, as Gopher Records provides great quality copies.

I've used this service on multiple occasions. Great communication whether asking for clarification, letting you know when searches are completed, or finalizing requests and orders, and explaining what was found. Always a good experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended.

As a historian in a city founded as a Union veterans’ colony, I’ve obtained multiple pension files through Gopher Records. Gopher has saved me literally hundreds of dollars vs NARA’s pricing, & I’ve received records in as few as 12 days! Highly recommend!

What a great deal the bundle package is for all the records I received! Working with a local school who is researching Civil War Veterans in a particular cemetery, we were very pleased with all the information we received. Not only did we obtain all their service and medical records, there were personal written letters, full listings of family members and so much more! We will definitely be ordering more records and spreading the word of the great service we received from Gopher Records!
