I met Bob at a genealogy conference, I showed him a record of one my relatives in the USCT, he told me that he would be able to obtain his pension file for me. I order the file and received the file in a couple of days. I was overwhelmed with the info, it was about 100 pages of information that was so valuable to me as an African American. I leaned so much about the family that I did not know. I am so very grateful and will definitely use this service again. [...]

I placed multiple orders with Gopher Records over the past couple of months. The orders were filled so quickly and the communication with the orders, when communication was needed, was clear, educational, and helpful. I would absolutely use Gopher Records again and I would recommend this service to anyone looking for assistance in obtaining military records. Thank you for providing this service!

Very fast service at a reasonable cost. Highly recommend.

Found out about this service from fellow Facebook poster. I've done it both ways - NARA and Gopher Records. Either one does the job, but NARA is much slower, and much more expensive. For about the cost of a NARA pension file, Gopher will provide a "bundle", that includes the Pension, Service and Medical Card records (where available for your ancestor) - scanned and downloaded, rather than through the mail. Highly recommended!

This was my first time using Gopher Records. I chose them based on the price for what I wanted, but they exceeded my expectations regarding turnaround time. I had my order much quicker than other services I have used. I highly recommend Gopher Records!

I came across the Gopher Records service during research into one of my ancestors. I decided to use their service to get specific civil war records that could contain some interesting and detailed information regarding my ancestors, somewhat unexpected, military service. Gopher Records provided exactly what I was looking for and at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend them based on my experience.

Very pleased with the records that Gopherrecords.com researched. Almost 200 pages of new information my outlining my GGranddad, Lafayette Davison’s service during the Civil War while serving with the 52nd Indiana Infantry Regiment. Much new information was learned about our family, especially, from the pension application. Couldn’t be happier — about a 3 week wait from order to delivery at an unbelievably low price. Thanks, Bob.

This is the second time I ordered a pension file from Gopher Records. The first absolutely no problems. This time for some reason I wasn't getting the link for my download. I emailed a couple of times to let them know I still hadn't received it. But I wasn't getting a response. So I was going to call but they called me first. They asked me to check my spam email & sure enough that's where it was!! I didn't even think to check that, duhh!! So everything was good. Great service & response. Just make sure to [...]

Gopher Records is an excellent records retrieval service. Their website is easy to navigate to request records, their service is fast and they are very helpful and knowledgeable. As a Professional Genealogist for 19 years, I can highly recommend Gopher Records.

Pursuing a life passion is only enhanced when you encounter "the best" in individuals serving the community. From start to finish I experienced a level of personalized care and professional attention to detail in Gopher Records. Bob has found his niche and makes what can be complicated, ...straight forward and simple. Communications, speed, technology, privacy and security all have been thought out and practiced likely over and over. The only way I know to sincerely thank is to Pay it Forward, ...to pass to others the link to Gopher Records and share my [...]
