Thanks to Bob & Gopher Records, we were able to put to rest a long-standing debate over how old a particular soldier was in our cemetery. Written on the man's discharge papers was a note from his commanding officer that the man was now 52 years old but at the time of enlistment was listed as age 40 just a year before the officer wrote this discharge. So this cleared up the mystery of his military records not matching other records we had for this man! Thank you, Gopher Records for helping us solve this mini-mystery!

Retrieving some records can be insanely slow. I have made use of Gopher Records on a few occasions and found the service fast, easy to use and a reasonable cost. Very pleased.

I'd ordered a complete set of my 3rd great-grandfathers Civil War Records; within a very short period of time I received a comprehensive set of records that helped to answer several questions I had been seeking for ancestral research. Gopher records is an invaluable source if you're your doing a deep dive into Civil War research. Well Done!

As usual, your service is great obtaining these records! Thank you so much!

I was looking for Civil War service records. I received those and records of a multiyear struggle to get a widow's pension. Dozens of affidavits detailing his service. How did they keep track of all that paperwork in the 19th century?

I used Gopher Records to find the military record of my Great Great Grandfather who was in the 193rd Pa Infantry in the Civil War in 1864. I needed this record to join the SUVCW (Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War). It was speedy delivery to my website a little over a week later when my SUVCW contact said it usually takes some months when going through the government directly. I told my SUVCW contact about Gopher Records and he was very impressed and will recommend them to others.

High quality color document images in half the time it takes from the National Archives. And at a lower price.

Gopher Records was wonderful to work with. Quick turnaround times and great pricing. It was so easy to order my 2-times great-grandfather's Civil War records. Gopher records made finding my 2-times great-grandfather's records so easy. His birth name was Jens Christian Olson, which he changed to Jens O. Kirkeby but he enlisted into the army under John Olsen. It's been wonderful reading about his war time experiences. Thanks, Gopher Records for all your help. Carla

Much faster and cheaper than going through NARA. Highly recommend Gopher Records.

I've had a great experience with Gopher Records. They are professional, efficient, communicative, and the fees are very reasonable. My documents were delivered in a timely fashion and it was easy to both order and download them from their site. I also appreciate them for accessing records that I physically can't research since I don't live nearby. I highly recommend using this service!
