Blazing fast service!
Gopher records is amazing! Astonishingly fast service, an easy on-line ordering system, reasonable pricing, and very attentive customer service. The Land Entry Case Files I ordered (probably) confirmed a theory I have, and opened up some new questions...as these documents often do. It was great getting the answers weeks (or months) before I would have received them from NARA. Highly recommended!

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 [...]

Highly Recommend!
I've ordered numerous civil war pensions and always received prompt service with excellent images which were easy to download. Also kept me posted on one that was not available at NARA in D.C. and the next steps they will conduct in trying to locate it which I really appreciate. Have referred to others and will definitely be utilizing their services. again!!

glad I found these guys
in one of my groups on facebook I had asked for suggestions/help on a so called brick wall on one of my ancestors who was in the Civil War- even though they couldnt find a lot of info, I was able to see the communications between his widow and the pension office- as a result found another Child that had died at the age of 10 in the same month and and year that she lost her husband- I now have a specific death date for her husband .

Fast and Efficient
Received my records request in four days. Infinitely better than going through NARA. Reasonably priced. Will be using again.

Fast services!! Easy ordering process!
I wish I had found this service prior to ordering several records from NARA. Gopher was *much* faster than ordering directly from NARA. It took a matter of weeks to process my order, rather than months (to over a year) that it took to receive orders from NARA.
The rates are also very reasonable. I like that they make it easy and clear to order all the records that you want - service record, pension, medical file. The order was processed quickly and the records they sent were easy to access and download. I will definitely be using their services [...]

Ease of Use
Gopher Records has been amazing. Turnaround times are much quicker than those provided by NARA for the same records and the prices are less expensive too. It's truly a win-win situation as a curious researcher. In addition, there is an actual person to speak to instead of the black-box we are stuck with when requesting records directly from NARA.

Happy Customer!
I am so glad someone gave me GopherRecords for getting information from the National Archives!!! Gopher delivery of files can be described as a nanosecond compared to NARA's service. The copies are clear, the website is easy to navigate, the prices are super reasonable, and communication with Gopher is outstanding.
Every genealogist should use this service and tell all their friends about it.

Quick and Efficient
Thank you for QUICKLY finding the records I have requested and forwarding them to me. It was only a matter of a few days! I was completely amazed with how quickly you sent them. (And I found out quite a lot about my ancestor through the court martial records. He was found not guilty!!)
