Bounty Land Application
I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Gopher Records. The turnaround on my request for a Bounty Land Application was extremely fast, very pleased with their work and attention to detail.
I highly recommend Gopher Records for all your National Archives needs. The price is substantially lower than what the Archives or others charge.
Thank you!

Gorgeous Scan Quality
I have ordered Bounty Land Applications from both NARA and now Gopher records. The difference in quality is astounding. The records recieved back from NARA are black and white scans of photo copies. The scans back from Gopher are high resolution and the true colors of the documents. I could not be more pleased! And the records are less expensive when ordered through Gopher AND the turnaround times are much faster. The process is literally better for the consumer in every aspect when using Gopher! See an example of the Gopher record [...]

Excellent service!
Thanks very much for the fine, quick, professional service! Excellent, personal, well-explained email communications. Help with the staff at the Archives in adjusting my order. The pension file came quickly, within a few days of the order being finalized. Thanks so much for your kind and efficient help!

Landon Smith
Landon Smith’s USCT pension file revealed the name of his enslaver, Harriet Parker, and the name of his wife Maria’s enslaver, Susan Chandler, plus the names of Landon and Maria’s children and their dates of birth. Speedy service and a flawless delivery.

Pension files
I was very happy to learn about Gopher Records and how they often can locate more records than I have been able to online. They recently found pension records for two of my relatives and I so appreciate having these records! If you decide to have them get records for you, I would suggest you review all the helpful information they have on their website. It helped answer several questions I have had.

Fabulous
What a fabulous service Gopher Records provides! They are quick, communicative, fairly priced and thorough. They even pointed me to other researchers for one of my requests. I cannot say enough good things. Honestly can’t wait to dig up another soldier I need to research, because I’ll be coming straight back to Gopher Records!

Excellent service
Great fast and excellent service for 2 Civil War Pension files. The images were high quality and so much better than anything I could have done. Kudos to Gopher Records!

Gopher Records now my “go to”
I requested Civil War records, and Gopher made the process so much easier than wading through the NARA request process. The turnaround time can't be beat (nor can the pricing). Thank you Gopher!

Information on Union POW who died at Andersonville
Very, very pleased with every aspect of this service and the wealth of information I received in the pension application submitted by the mother of the soldier. I really had no idea there could be so much to learn from the pension applications. Thank you so much!
