I had been hearing about Gopher Records for awhile now and the wonderful results they were getting. Finally several weeks I decided to place an order myself with them. 1st I want to say is that you are not asked to pay until the records are found. I was quite impressed with that. I have a subscription to Fold3 and one grandfather they found a little more, but not a whole lot…..but I was shocked at the size of my 2nd grandfather’s file. For example in his pension file it had all of his handwritten letters thru out the [...]

My experience with Gopher Records was excellent from start to finish. I needed a bit of clarification before submitting my order and Bob Velke answered quickly. I placed my order and was impressed that my payment would not be required until the requested records were found. The records were located and sent immediately upon payment. I had some difficulty in downloading them and I emailed Gopher. Bob went above and beyond by calling me to help me access the records. The extensive records have provided many insights into the history of my great grandfather. I am still [...]

I requested a pension file for a Civil War sailor and within two days, it was ready for download! Fast and excellent service! Highly recommend!

Purchased gift certificate & used later when I had time to fill out the application. Very fast results..Very happy with the copies of documents received.. Hadn't ordered before due to potential expense and wanting more info on my Civil War ancestor before applying.. I've been enthusiastically recommending gopher records to others. Thanks for what you do.

Gopher records helped me retrieve records from College Park. Also, they told me that one record I was looking for was the state of Pennsylvania and not a federal record. I was impressed with how quickly they would provide the records for me. Using Pay-Pal made it easy to settle our bill. I thought their prices were very reasonable. Thank you, Gogher Records

Excellent service.

Gopher Records is fantastic! Fast service with great, clear scans. Very reasonable prices. Will definitely use them for every pension file I need.

Professional service. Quick turnaround. Great price. I am a professional genealogist and have used this service twice to obtain records from the National Archives. Highly recommended. One court martial record I ordered had 491 pages - they scanned them all and sent to me for only $45. Much needed service for researchers. Thank you!

Bob, I took advantage of your pandemic offer to dig into records as soon as NARA resumed processing. At this point you have completed all my requests. It has been eye-opening for our family, and we are most grateful for your expertise. At every step along the way you kept me well informed with realistic expectations. Your professionalism and dogged pursuit have been admirable, even to the point of a Freedom of Information request that accomplished the research goal. Highly recommended! I'm compiling my next request now.

Terrific service! I had the records in hand before I knew it. Impressive!
