Love, love, love Gopher Records! Service is just as described and even BETTER! Used to be I would wait months and months for Civil War and Revolutionary War records when I ordered them from the National Archives. No more with Gopher Records! In one case I waited for one record from Gopher less than a week! I ordered an entire Civil War pension record also from Gopher and it was over 100 pages and I paid much less than I would ordering through the National Archives and it came lightning fast! I am [...]

Another fast and accurate record retrieval by Gopher Records. I will be telling my client about the service and how easy it is to order a Civil War pension record. Thank you!

I recently read about this company on a forum and decided to give it a try. Processed orders in less than a week. responsive to questions. I asked a question about if there was another part of a pension file for a wife reference in the pension file I was given next day he sent me the wife’s pension file as well…..just wow, highly recommended. If you like primary sources for research or genealogy I would recommend try Gopher Records.

I am thrilled with my experience requesting copies of 2 Civil War pension files. I received them within days of submitting my order, and the quality of the scans is fantastic. I was really impressed by how simple and organized the process was, too. As soon as I paid my invoice, I received the link to download the files. I really appreciated how certain things were highlighted like a variance in names in the records, and no medical carded medical records to be found. I will definitely use Gopher Records again when I need files but can't make it [...]

Easy to order, quick to received documents. I have used Gopherrecords often and will continue to do so.

I have used Gopher Records when I cannot get to the National Archives myself for Civil War research. The service is timely, comprehensive, and an excellent value for the researcher who cannot be on-site. Highly recommended!

I heard about your service from a member of the DAR. She highly recommended your service is less expensive than other sources, you deliver in half the time and you are prompt in your replies. I found all of that to be absolutely true. I'll be using you again as I discover more records that I am in the need of. Thank you!

I want to give a BIG THANK YOU to Gopher Records. The turnaround on my request for a Bounty Land Application was extremely fast, very pleased with their work and attention to detail. I highly recommend Gopher Records for all your National Archives needs. The price is substantially lower than what the Archives or others charge. Thank you! Charla Murphy

I was very frustrated with waiting for the National Archives to provide me with copies of two pension records. A friend told me about this awesome company that would be able to go locate them in a fraction of the time. I cancelled the request with NARA, submitted a request to Gopher Records and had the records in less than a week. The estimate they gave me to complete the work order was one month, so they successfully exceeded my exceptions with the quick service. I would absolutely use them again! In addition, I located a [...]
