Service Highly Recommended
Gopher Records is a great service! The prices are reasonable and the response time is excellent. It was very easy to order, as well as to receive the scanned documents.
I had been waiting for months for the National Archives to fulfill a Mexican War pension file request. After seeing Gopher Records mentioned in the Vita Brevis blog (AmericanAncestors), I decided I had nothing to lose by contacting them. Bob answered my question about how to handle the fact that the record was already ordered with the National Archives. I ordered the pension [...]

Excellent Service!
I obtained a Civil War pension file very quickly and it was a great experience.
I would certainly use Gopher Records again.

Gopher Records Are A Researcher’s Dream
If you are searching your family history and military records are part of that search.....Gopher Records must be the service to use to seek, locate and review in such a short turnaround time! Don't believe me, give them a try and see for yourself!!!

Savior for Records – quick, accurate, and find all the hidden gems
I'm so happy to have found them last year; for every order I've placed, I've had the records back in a stellar time frame. The previous two homestead records were less than a week. Allowing me to follow the passion of a new find immediately instead of getting frustrated by long waits from others and NARA. Allowing me to quickly add on new records discovered as a result of the digging when hot on the trail of an ancestor.
The Pension files come back with so much more information than I could hope for, and they make sure to [...]

Outstanding Service
I am thoroughly impressed with Gopher Records. The ordering process was simple and I was able to provide plenty of documentation easily. I was so surprised by the quick turnaround, especially when ordering directly from the National Archives can take months and is costly. The quality of the scan was outstanding and I'm still combing through all the details. I'm so thankful to have found such a wonderful service that offers a fair price. I will be requesting more records through Gopher Records in the future! If you're on the fence about ordering records, do it and use Gopher [...]

So fast!
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!

Records retrieval from National Archives
I was very happy with the results and records I received. Excellent communication, and they helped to find all the records for my Mexican War Veteran. Fast service and very reasonable price for all the records I received. Very clear pricing instructions up front, and excellent follow up when more records were possibly located. Highly recommend for others who cannot reach the Archives themselves. Will definitely recommend to all fellow researchers. Thanks so much, Gopher Records!

Reliable and efficient
I've requested several files from GopherRecords.com and have always been delighted with the results -- high quality scans without having to wait (I got one order on a Monday after making the request late Friday). The images are scanned in full color and can easily be magnified to evaluate that puzzling phrase. One pension file even included letters sent during the Civil War by the soldier who was incarcerated in Andersonville. Then there was my great-great-grandfather who deserted, stole his officer's horse, and was court-martialed, twice. Oop. These records can contain amazing information and GopherRecords.com's service makes it possible [...]

A Great Service
Great service. Had never heard of Gopher until a couple weeks ago - saw it mentioned on Reddit.
Super quick turnaround, and dirt cheap pricing. There's pretty much no reason to get these records from NARA directly if you know about Gopher.

Civil War Pensions
Gopher Records has been a great resource for helping us obtain Civil War Pension records. In the last record we ordered, it included the death certificate for the solider living in the state of Nebraska, which was very helpful to our research! Gopher Records' website is easy to use and the turnaround time is very quick. We will continue to use them in the future.
