First experience with Gopher Records

I don't know why it took me so long to try this service. I have had a Civil War veteran ancestor brick wall for some time, and knew that there was likely a pension record for my ancestor (as opposed to at least one other man of the same name) but hadn't pursued getting a copy. Recently a genealogy friend talked about Gopher Records, reminding me to look again. I discovered that I could ask for a free assessment of what records were available so I started there. It took 5 days to get a [...]

Honest, practical help and service.

Researching my forbear from Australia was most difficult. I was uncertain how to negotiate the National Archives, and would never have had details of his Civil War service without the patient and professional assistance rendered by Gopher Records. Thank you Gopher Records. Margaret from Australia.

Great Service

I've used Gopher a couple of times to get military related information on ancestors and been super satisfied. I requested the whole thing and got back literally over a hundred pages of items on each person I've selected. And what I found was more than I had anticipated. Pension records especially contained information such as descriptions, copies of documents, and family connections that I hadn't thought about getting through military records. It was great. Bob is very helpful and prompt when I've submitted requests. Was kind enough even to make a change when I discovered [...]

Civil War Records

Thank you so much for retrieving these records for me. It was a long wait due to the pandemic and the Archives being closed, but it arrived quickly once the Archive opened up and it was worth it in the end! This particular Civil War Widow's Pension record revealed so much (there was a contested widow). It is invaluable, and I highly recommend that researchers attempt to find these records for their own ancestors.

Excellent Service

This was my second order from Gopher. All aspects of the transactions were outstanding. The customer service is very prompt, personable, and professional. Communication is tremendous. The delivery system and product are excellent. I’ve used two other private retrieval services, and this one is far superior. I have complete confidence in Gopher and look forward to future discoveries through them.

Lightning Fast Service with personal attention to the details

As an author, I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the delays at the National Archives due to COVID that had brought some critical research to a standstill. Gopher Records was a game-changer. Reasonably priced, fast turnaround, and one-on-one great communication.

Thank you

I want to thank Gopher Records for locating all information on my ancestors Civil War file. Not only service but pension with depositions and letters. I truly appreciate your making the adjustments to my request to avoid my paying for more than necessary.

Consistent Great Service!

We have just completed our seventh purchase through Bob and have been happy each time. Our orders have been delivered in a timely manner and we appreciate the due diligence that Bob uses in delivering results. Thank you so much for helping us increase the depth of information that we have about our ancestors!

Pension files

This service is priceless! Thank you, Bob, for the pension files that I have ordered. As always, the service was fast and the quality of the reproductions was outstanding.

Super fast and less expensive than expected

I just wanted to say that Gopher Records did a fantastic job getting the records for my second great grandfather's Civil War invalid pension, and blasted thru a brick wall that I had no idea how to deal with. Bob V made this also easy and stayed in touch the whole way. He even removed charges for files I requested when he said his basic research showed there weren't any of that type. He had over 100 pages of records turned around in less than two weeks and helped me understand the process. I will [...]
