I was thrilled by the speed, thoroughness, and thoughtful communication in response to my request for a copy of an ancestor’s Mexican War pension file. Wonderful service and high quality result—plus super fast!

My 2G grandmother married three Civil War Veterans and my research for an application to Daughters of 1812 got me thinking that the pension could be helpful in confirming their relationship etc. Thanks to gopherrecords, I learned the pension was available and free on Fold3 but they could get it for me also. Because of a second index card from the National Archives “gopher” found, I learned there was another file under her third husband’s name. My geni helper thought it probably wouldn’t be needed since it was a “rejected” application but I thought I should have it anyway, if only [...]

Requested several records and pension for a Mexican War soldier. The website to submit the request is very thorough and pleasing. Very informative and easy to use - nothing just thrown together. The status was continually updated and the turnaround time was very quick. The digital copies were very clear and well done. I can not recommend using Gopher Records enough for your National Archives needs enough. Top notch organization and service through the entire process.

I highly recommend Gopher Records. They were great to work with and I had the information I requested in less than two weeks and at a very reasonable price. I would definitely use them again.

Fast and easy in 40 years of collecting I have never recieved records so fast And easy (3 days). My sincere thanks!!

As usual I was very pleased at how quickly I received this pension file. It was only a couple of days from when I submitted the request until I had the file in hand. Thank you for the superior service.

I ordered the Civil War Soldiers Bundle and was expecting to hear something in a couple of weeks. My results were sent to me 3 days later! The bundle contained records that I didn’t realize were available and a pension file that was over 200 pages thick. The information that I have discovered in these records is immeasurable. I have other ancestors to research and I will definitely be reaching back out to Gopher Records for assistance.

This is a one stop place for all records relating to your descendants from the Military. All records are very concise and readable. Great and fast service.

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!

I got my pension records so quickly, I was thrilled. I have ordered records from the National Archives previously and waited months. They were also twice the cost. I have told all my research friends about Gopher and will continue to share my experience with others.
