Top Notch
Excellent job once again. Appreciate the heads up to some of the records being available on Fold3 and that my cost was lowered because of that.

Russell M. Lapree Pension file
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.

great service!
I ordered Civil War pension files for two of my 3rd great-grandfathers. It was during the pandemic, and I liked the fact that I didn't have to pay until I received the files. I've sent money to places in the past, and then never heard another word, so I appreciate the opportunity to pay *after* documents have been located. Of course, NARA was shut down for a while, but I never despaired that my order would eventually make it to the top of the wait list. Very satisfied with the professionalism of this company, as well as their communication [...]

I LOVE Gopher Records ❤️
I have been researching the Civil War and my own family tree for a LONG time. Gopher Records provided amazing customer service as well as ridiculously fast results. For a ridiculously reasonable rate. 😄 I appreciate Bob and his attentiveness and stellar communication so much. And now I have so much information to comb through and discover. Seriously worth it to have those pension files- tons and tons of random info. A relative of mine was wounded at Gettysburg and I found a detailed description from his doctor. I even found a copy of my 3rd great-grandparents’ marriage certificate. [...]

Fast, complete and helpful!
Gopher Records is a great team to work with for all my NARA pension record needs! He communicates well through the process, provides a clean and readable scan of the documents. Fast and affordable! I'll be back!!

Excellent service. I would highly recommend them. Bob was awesome and quick to respond. I was able to verify death date of my 2 nd great grandfather.

You cannot go wrong with Gopher Records.com
Bob's personal care, professionalism, turn around time, and highly knowledgeable advice far exceeded my expectations on every level. For several weeks I kicked around the idea of taking a chance on a request. In all honesty, but for no good reason, I was not optimistic that my investment with Gopher Records.com would amount to anything of sustenance. I had made records requests before with state and federal agencies, waiting months only to receive nothing or next to nothing with the two line note informing me that my investment was for the search not for results or further [...]

Fantastic Service
I have submitted two orders to Bob myself, and I submitted one while working with a friend on her genealogy. Bob's prices cannot be beat, and the images I received were good quality and were delivered within a few weeks of my submitting the order. One of my orders was one of the few War of 1812 pension files that have not been digitized for free viewing on Fold3. When I submitted the order, the file had been removed from the stacks at the NARA because it was set to be digitized, and it was not available for researchers. [...]

Gopher Records is My New Go-To!
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 [...]
