I've placed several orders with Gopher and only have the highest praise for the expeditious manner in which they get the job done. I've ordered from NARA directly in the past and it takes many months and if the file you've requested is more than 100 pages, it takes some back and forth before you can get the rest of it. With this service you get all the pages which are available. And, comparing the files I've received from NARA to those I've received from Gopher, I'd say Gopher's scanning is better.

I first learned about Gopher Records through several enthusiastic recommendations in genealogy Facebook groups. I ordered the Civil War Soldier’s Bundle and was thoroughly impressed by the speed of fulfillment, the quality of the copies, the reasonable cost, and the responsiveness of Bob Velke when I had a few follow-up questions. I have no hesitation in recommending Gopher Records.

Thanks to Gopher Records, I had a major breakthrough in my family research! Their ability to navigate the confusing National Archives is impressive, as are their communications and customer service. I highly recommend!

Gopher Records retrieved my great-grandfathers Civil War Pension Application and records, which were a treasure trove of information! It took a while due to Covid/NARA but Gopher kept me updated on their progress. Great service and worth every dime to find out his info!

I was frustrated with finding a 1812 pension record for one of my ancestors. I had his service record but not the pension. I thought I had checked every possible spelling of his last name. GOPHER found the record I needed in a short time. I will use this service again as I research my early Virginia ancestors.

This company is one of the best 'discoveries' for my genealogy research! They are very affordable and results are quick. I have placed multiple orders and each one has contained a wealth of information about my ancestors. You will not regret using their services! I rate them 5 Stars Plus!

I ordered two Civil War Soldier bundles from Gopher and was extremely happy with the results! The pricing is very affordable if you can't make the trip to NARA yourself. Additionally, the turn around time for both orders was fast; in fact, they arrived well before the estimated delivery date (which was only one month). Finally, the image quality was absolutely fantastic--clean, crisp, and easy to read. Overall, I found Gopher to be an affordable, quick, and easy way to get high quality digital copies of the records I needed. It is my go-to service for NARA records, and [...]
